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!

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
