Make Summer '16 Go Down In History

All summer sixteen, playing dirty not clean.

In every college town there are pros and cons to the summer of a college student.

Let's see.

For the cons of the summer... you have to leave your newfound home. Whether your home is a college dorm, apartment or house, leaving this place hurts, and you know you miss this place everyday. You leave your friends, Greek brothers/sisters and the people who struggle through college with you on a daily basis, and you leave your favorite new restaurants and hangout spots. Leaving these places puts a temporary hole in your heart.

The pros of the summer are obvious. Your brain gets to relax because, let's be honest, everyone's brain is practically mushed by May after finishing his/her last final. Also, let's mention summer flings, connecting with your high school BFF'S, working and actually having money for about three months until your life is yet to be consumed again by school, and getting fed by your parents. That's pretty great, too.

Summer '16 is special. You will never be this young again, and who knows what the future might hold, so live it up. So many headliners have happened, both good and bad, like the gorilla and the toddler at the Cincinnati Zoo, the unfortunate shootings in Orlando, and, honestly, things are kind of happening all over the place. Some plus sides in my life have consisted of Spotify costing $0.99 for three months, buying a Kate Spade purse for 50% on Memorial Day weekend, and eating Pringles by the pound.

So, let's live this summer up. Go to the beach. Go to the lake. Work a little (so you might actually have some money to get through Fall and Spring semester). Spend time with your family (you know you miss them). Meet cute boys. Pop some fireworks. Eat your body weight in ice cream. Do what makes you happy. We all know that time will fly by, and soon you will be studying and probably eating Ramen noodles or TV dinners every night. Spend your time wisely, but most of all have fun, take lots of cute pictures and make memories that will last a lifetime.

I knew this summer would be special right from the beginning when I heard "Summer Sixteen" by Drake.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
