The DO's and DON'Ts of Summer

As with all aspects of life, there are do’s and do not’s. For example; taking a nap is 100 percent completely fine and I would actually recommend a siesta, but taking a nap instead of going to work is not recommended unless you are trying to get fired. So for summer time there are many do’s and do not’s that will make your life much easier and a little more enjoyable. So without further ado, let’s get this list going.


DO drink beer, it’s mostly water anyways.
DON’T drink and drive, seriously, that’s never okay. Take a cab.
DO eat Popsicles, all that sugar is great for keeping up energy.
DON’T forget to drink the melted Popsicle at the bottom, that’s the best part.
DO go to the beach, soak up those glorious sun rays.
DON’T get funky sun burn lines, peeling is no fun.
DO go to America themed parties, as many as you can.
DON’T be that guy at the parties, modesty is important.
DO wear sun screen, saggy leathery skin is gross.
DON’T use the spray sun screen, apparently it’s not good for you.
DO eat as much food as possible, whenever possible.
DON’T forget to work off that beer and BBQ gut.
DO listen to Jimmy Buffet and drink a piña colada.
DON’T watch Jaws, even today that movie will scare you.
DO hookup with someone, unless you already have a relationship, cheating ain’t cool.
DON’T sit inside all day, that’s what winter is for.
DO hang out with your friends and sweat your a$$ off in this heat.
DON’T shoot roman candles at each other, no matter how fun that sounds.
DO travel, see those places you’ve always wanted too but haven’t had the time.
DON’T work all summer, summer is here and gone before you know it.


There you have it folks, enjoying summer is easy. The hardest part is to come up with ideas to do in this heat without dying of heat stroke. Take my advice and have fun, but don’t be stupid. Because if you do not take my advice, don’t blame me, I warned you.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
