If you watch Netflix, then you've probably heard of "Queer Eye." The show is a reboot of the early 2000s Bravo show "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy," where five gay men with individual specializations give complete lifestyle makeovers to deserving "heroes." "Queer Eye" has quickly become a sensation, and it's no wonder — the "Fab Five" are addictive with their sweet, inspiring personalities. They're all incredibly genuine and talented, making them hard not to love and their show impossible not binge.

Being home for the summer and having free time, one of the very first things I did was sit down and watch "Queer Eye," and I'm so glad I did because I'm completely in love. While I love all five cast members dearly and equally, there's just something so captivating about grooming specialist Johnathan Van Ness that immediately drew me to him. He is fun, he is energetic, and he is unafraid to be completely who he is, and the vibes he gave me really reminded me of the summertime — relaxation, laughter, and sunshine.

1. Realizing that all the fun summer things you do add up to a lot of money

Yeah, a billion road trips and new adventures every week sounded great until I realized how non-bank-account-friendly they were. No, Jonathan, I CAN'T believe the struggles of the #brokelife.

2. Trying on the perfect bathing suit and feeling like you could give Tyra Banks a run for her money

We all have that inner confidence that pops her head out when you KNOW you look great.

3. Attempting to kickstart one of those "summer flings" that they talk about in every teen movie ever

And of course, doing it 21st-century-millennial style. Jonathan is all about staying modern and at the moment, ya know. Gotta turn that fam into your summer bae, am I right, kids? (... Maybe that was too far.)

4. Looking into the mirror and admiring that Golden Goddess Glow you have

Sometimes you gotta be your own admirer and looking sun-kissed is the perfect time to do it.

5. When the temperature is way too hot and you feel yourself losing brain function

media.giphy.com

Nothing like the blazing sun and heat stroke to turn your brain into some good ol' summertime mush.

6. When someone tries to mention the impending end of summer

media.giphy.com

Please, just let me enjoy the time of year where responsibilities feel fake and I feel a little cuter with my baby tan.

7. Staring at your closet and realizing that now would be a great time for a complete style change

media.giphy.com

Summer really be making ya wanna be a whole new person.

8. Being surprised by a sudden thunderstorm ruining your outdoor plans

media.giphy.com

While the sunshine and heat is (mostly) great, Mother Nature is also a big fan of summertime curve balls.

9. Coming out of the pool and feeling like 'Baywatch'

media.giphy.com

Even if you might actually just look like a drowned rat.

10. Getting the perfect, summery Insta pic

media.giphy.com

Who cares if every other person and their mama has posted that same bathing-suit-standing-in-ocean pic, you KNOW that your notifs are going to pop off with this one.

11. When someone says they wanna do something fun to enjoy the nice weather

And you conveniently forget your empty bank account for the sake of making good memories.

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."
