I read an article the other day entitled "Don’t Eat Like Sh*t And 8 Other Ways To Get A Perfect Summer Bod Like Mine" and this is my response.

First off, to the author, you are one cocky little thing. It’s one thing to be confident in yourself, but the way you presented yourself to the world, simply in your headline, indicates that you think a little too highly of yourself. Specifically, it appears you think you are better than anyone who you have deemed as not having “the perfect summer bod” like your own. But here’s the thing, just as my body isn’t perfect, yours isn’t either.

You have this flawed belief that in order to have a “summer bod” you must stop “eating like shit,” “drink water,” and “go to the gym 5-6 days a week.” Yes, doing these things, along with the other points you mentioned is healthy, but what you failed to account for is that every body type is different. Some people may not have a six-pack, but not for lack of trying. Some people may simply be happy with who they are and don’t care what other people think. And some people have medical conditions which make it difficult to almost impossible for them to lose weight and you, my dear, have made every single one of your readers who does suffer from a medical condition like this, feel completely inadequate.

What I want you, and anyone else who reads this to take away from it, is that everyone is beautiful in their own way no matter if they are thin or curvy, tall or short, and all you have to do to have the perfect summer or beach bod, is to go to the beach [or anywhere else] and have a blast with your friends and family.

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.
