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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
