Congratulations! You survived another year of college! Summer is finally here and you're all settled in back at home... but now what? Follow this guide to make the most out of your summer.

1. DO make time to see friends from home that you lost touch with over the year.

2. DON'T forget about your friends from school.

It's always fun to plan to visit each other over the summer. If not, they're always a text or FaceTime call away!

3. DO try to get a summer job or internship.

Your future self will thank you for the experience and the extra cash to treat yo self during the year (like springing for guac at Chipotle once in a while).

4. DON'T forget that some alone time every now and then is good.

5. DO apply sunscreen when you go to the beach.

And don't forget to reapply said sunscreen (totally not speaking from experience here... jk I currently look like a lobster).

6. DON'T go to the beach empty-handed.

Make a beach playlist on Spotify to listen to. Bring a frisbee! Maybe even bring that book you bought months ago that you never had time to read on your own time during the school year. (Great beach read: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling).

7. DO make time to be with your family.

As much as they don't want to admit it, they totally miss you when you're away at school (maybe just a little bit but that still counts!).

8. DON'T stay cooped up in your house all the time.

Get some friends together and explore a little bit. Try that new Cuban restaurant; take that late night visit to the beach!

9. DO catch up on all the Netflix you may not have been able to watch during the year.

Now's the time the binge watch The Office and any other series with a ridiculously large number of seasons.

10. My most important rule: DO SLEEP IN AS LATE AS YOU CAN WHENEVER POSSIBLE!

Gotta make up for all the hours of sleep you lost during the school year somehow!
