In This Article:

Summer time is finally here, or at least approaching depending on where you live. This means beaches, lake days, picnics, barbecues. As we all know, with these events comes some pretty killer heat. Nothing says summer time like a delicious ice cold beverage that is not only refreshing, but delicious. If you wanna be prepared to serve drinks that are sure to lead to some fun in the sun, check out the 7 beverages in this article that I know your friends and family will not be able to get enough from.

1) Seltzer

Sometimes, you just have to keep things simple. Water is great and all, but seltzer really helps bring people to the cooler on a hot day. The carbonation really helps to keep you from drinking too fast so you not only get to enjoy a delicious drink, but you can enjoy it for longer! This drink comes in a plethora of flavors so you can bet your bottom dollar there is a kind that you and your party will love.

2) Club soda

Who doesn't love a little bit of tingly water? A case or a bottle of club soda can liven up any get together. With flavors like strawberry lemonade and lime, what is there not to love?

3) Sparkling water

Some gas infused liquid is sure to hit the spot at your next party. Sip like the elite with this ~fancy~ drink. (My personal favorite flavor is cucumber melon, let me know what you think!)

4) Seltzer water

A little bit of H2C03 (Which is H2O+CO2 for those of you not well versed in chemestry) is just what the summer doctor ordered to put a damper on the brutal heat of the summer. This one only comes in one flavor... PSYCH there are soooo many flavors for this incredibly unique drink.

5) Effervescent water 

Okay I'm gonna have to keep it real with you guys for a second, this one is basically just a fancy name for the next drink. See #6

6) Bubbly/Fizzy water

A little bit of bubbles in your water? What could be better when the temps get hotter! With this spicy take on your every day beverage you'll be sure to gain a great deal of leverage (the next time there is is "who brought the best drinks to the party" competition). Pick from hundreds of flavors that will tingle your taste buds.

7) Carbonated water

Carbon here does NOT mean that you are contributing to climate change by drinking this. It DOES mean that you will be everybody's favorite guest to have at any summertime ordeal. Pro-Tip: if you poll some of the guests before the party, you can ask them what their favorite flavors are and get those because there is sure to be a carbonated water in any flavor you could think of!

There you have it, the 7 best drinks for your next summer time shin dig. The hardest part is picking which one to bring! Really you should just buy all 7 and bring them to the party but leave them in your car, then feel the vibes of the place and then bring out the corresponding beverage. You'll have all the attendees asking "How did you know?! This is the perfect drink for this specific summer time gathering!"

Happy drinking!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
