For all college kids, summer is a great time to relax and have fun! One of the many pluses to summer is all the great things you can buy to make your summer more enjoyable and chic. There are so many cute and useful things you can have to get the most out of your beach days and overall summer days.

Here are 10 things every girl should have this summer!

1. TELETIES

TELETIES are changing the game for hair ties. They don't pull or get knotted in your hair. Also, they're super cute to wear on your wrist! They've become my favorite hair ties!

2. Circular Beach Towel

Circular beach towels are very popular lately and ban.do has some of the absolute greatest circular towels for you to use at the beach!

3. Quay Sunnies

These Australian sunglasses come in many styles and are 100% worth buying for the beach and all your outdoor summer activities! These are definitely on my want list right now.

4. Water-friendly Birkenstocks

Flip-flops are nice beach shoes but these water-friendly Birkenstocks might be better. They come in quite a few colors, both wild and tame, and are so much cheaper than regular Birks. They are the perfect shoe to take to the beach or waterpark this summer!

5. Reusable Straw

There are a lot of companies selling reusable steel straws to start carrying with you when you go places. This is something you should definitely have with you this summer to cut back on your use of plastic straws!

6. Glossier Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen

Glossier has made a fabulous face sunscreen for you to use this summer and your skin will definitely thank you for it!

7. Packed Party Bags

Packed Party is a super fun brand with multiple size bags for you to buy. My personal favorite is their large cosmetic bag, that fits ALL of my makeup effortlessly, but there are so many other ones I'd love to get. The clear bag with colorful or gold confetti brings some fun to your luggage this summer!

8. Beach Spikers

Beach Spikers are a great way to hold your drink on the beach. It'll keep your drink cold, sand-free, and spill-free.

9. Huji Cam App

The Huji Cam App is such a fun app to have if you don't already! It acts like a disposable camera and after you take a picture it will add random light effects and a date stamp to your photo. It's the perfect thing to have this summer to make you pictures cool for Instagram!

10. Bluetooth Speaker

A Bluetooth speaker will be exactly what you need to enjoy all your favorite music on the beach or just on the go this summer!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
