It's already March which means that Summer is just around the corner. If you're anything like me, all Winter you've been vegging out, binge watching Netflix and stuffing Oreos in your face like they're going out of style. But now, it's time to get back into the swing of things and work on your Summer bod.

Here are five exercises to help you get the flat stomach you want for Summer!

1. Diagonal Plank

This exercise is done exactly how the picture looks. You hold out one of your arms and your opposite leg at the same time. I'd recommend holding this pose for 30 seconds each side.

2. V-Crunch

This one is bit tough. Again, just like in the picture, you hover your upper and lower body up only balancing on your booty, and then, using your abs, you pull yourself up into a seated position with your legs coming to a table-top position. Remember to keep your abs engaged throughout the entire workout (including between reps). I would recommend 3 sets of 10 reps.

3. Crunch-chop

More crunches! For this one, you lay on your back with your legs together, straight up in the air, and have your hands clasps above your head. When you do the crunch, your legs open up to a V shape and your arms slice between your legs. If you want to you can had weight, just hold a dumbbell in your hands. For this exercise I would recommend 4 sets of 12 reps.

4. Flutter Kicks

In this exercise you lay on your back with your legs hovering slightly above the ground. After that, cross your legs right over left and then switch (repeat this movement for the whole time)! I would recommend doing this for 45 seconds!

5. Reverse Crunch

For this last exercise lay on your back and hold your legs up in there air, they can be a little bent. After that, lift your hips up off the ground using only your abs (not your arms/hands). I recommend to repeat this action for 4 sets of 12 reps.

Get ready to achieve your summer body goals!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
