The sun is out, there are no more 8 AM lectures to worry about, and the beach is now our second home. Now that we have a break from all of the craziness that comes with being a college student, we have all of the time in the world to relax and enjoy ourselves as a nice break from hitting the books. But that doesn't mean our summers still aren't wild with unexpected twists and turns throughout the way.

1. Having to be away from all of your college friends for 3 months

Take me back... now. Three months is an eternity.

2. Working endless hours at your job to make money and pay off loans

You gotta get money somehow, but you also need sleep

3. Trying to stay in shape before going back to school and ordering out 24/7

GTL is your new motto.

4. But also overeating on your family's cooking because you missed high quality home-cooked meals

Almost anything will beat dining hall food.

5. Trying to find a summer fling or relationship but failing

Guess I'll still be forever alone.

6. Missing going out on the weekends at school with your friends

At school there's no curfew or parents telling you what to do, and at home there's no frats nearby.

7. Trying to avoid the people from home that you thought you wouldn't see anymore after high school

Leave me alone, I don't know you.

8. Being bored all the time since you have to plan everything with friends instead of walking down the hall to hang out with them

Instead of being only a few doors down from you in a dorm, your friends are now a car ride away and everything has to be planned in advance, which is just work.

9. Trying to constantly avoid your family when they give you more responsibilities

I love you guys, but summer is my only time off from adulting.

10. At this point we're just waiting to go back to college

When's move in day?

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
