In case you haven't had a great summer so far, here are 13 ways to make sure that it is even better and that you are prepared for all summers from here on out!

I honestly don't think my summers would be as fun or memorable without these 13 things!

A Camera

Capture every single moment. You will regret it if you don't!

Sunscreen with the proper SPF

Keeping your skin protected is a must! Skin cancer is a serious issue. You can't mess around with the sun's harmful rays. You don't want to ruin your summer by not properly protecting your skin.

A perfect summer drink to keep in hand

Finding the perfect drink recipe is sometimes difficult. I have been really into Arizona green tea recently. I am always trying new things, but somehow I always find my way back to Arizona.

A perfect summer top

I am a t-shirt kinda gal, so sometimes finding cute, comfy summer clothing is hard. But looking cute makes a gal more confident! Especially during the hot summer days.

Good Food

Whether you are healthy or not, food is something our bodies need daily. I personally discover a lot of new foods over the summer because I have more time to find new restaurants to try.

New places to explore

I don't know about y'all but I get tired of looking at the same tree in my backyard. I am always exploring new places and for me its necessary for making the best memories during the summer!

Summer Accessories

I am a huge accessories girl. In the winter I am the one wearing a beanie. This summer I have found that I love bracelets. I love the mix of random colors on my wrists.

A good summer read

Reading is an important thing. I would say that I am also old-fashioned because I use the app Wattpad. I like reading a bunch of different stories for free! Reading is also a great way to pass those long, boring summer hours.

Comfy sandals for all summer activities and occasions

If you plan on visiting a theme park or exploring a big city this summer, remember to keep in mind that comfort is important! Sandals are a big thing for me during the summer months. I have been awful to my poor feet lately. I have been going for cute and not comfy. I visited a theme park and are home with a blister on my foot the size of my thumb!

 A cute pair of sunglasses to take with you everywhere

I mentioned the sun before, but seriously guys, protection is a really important thing. Lucky for us, people make adorable sunglasses for super cheap! However, more expensive sunglasses have a higher quality. Either way, protect your eyes!

 Most importantly, a swimsuit or two

Swimsuits are a necessity if you are planning on doing any swimming over the summer. I love all things water so I always buy new swimsuits every summer. I love purchasing from American Eagle, Target, and even online! They make so many adorable ones and they look super cute in pictures.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
