How To Be Extra AF This Summer

Summer 2017 is in full swing which means vacations, your dream internship, or even just sitting on the couch for three months to recover from last semester. No matter which way you spend your summer, you're probably wondering how to let your friends and loyal Instagram followers know that you are on fleek this summer. Learn how to flaunt your minimum wage wealth this summer and show the world how #extra you really are.


1. Green drinks only.

Is it matcha? Is it kale? Is it baby food? No one really knows. Pair it with your overpriced coconut/electrolyte/charcoal water for that added edge. And when you're throwing away $10 at Whole Foods, just repeat to yourself: "if it's not green, it's not for me."

2. Pool floats.

Take up the entire square footage of your pool with a 75'' float of whatever object you can find. They've got avoacados, champagne bottles, or you can go with the classic flamingo. Whatever you get, make sure you post it on Instagram. Why spend $50 on a giant swan if you're not going to break your record for most likes on an Insta? Word to the wise: while they make even cuter beach pics, ocean currents and giant floats do not mix.

3. Boomerang everything you do.

Instagram blessed us this past year with allowing us to make GIF's of anything we want. Want to show your followers you're at happy hour with your pals? Boomerang. Are you at the beach and need everyone to see your sandy feet? Boomerang. Are your doing some mundane task that probably doesn't need to be Boomerang-ed but you're going to do it anyway? Boomerang.

4. One pieces with witty sayings

Who needs a normal tanline? Not you. Whether the sayings make perfect sense or no sense at all; rock it. If you can't seem to find a saying that fits you, maybe Sunny Co. Clothing will give away another few thousand red one pieces again.

5. Sunglasses you will never wear again after this summer.

The '90s have been making comebacks left and right within the last year, but this summer's latest throwback trend has been Kurt Cobain-esque sunglasses that look like the ones you literally wore when you were 10. If they're plastic, some abnormal color, but they look really cool, you've picked a winner. Are they necessary? No. Are you still going to buy them? Absolutely.

This summer, don't be afraid to let your extra flag fly high. Live your best life, and if they haters get you down, at least you look cute.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
