Summer a time where our music gets a little louder, the nights get later, our skin gets darker.

Life is better! With plans and bucket lists of the things, you want to do this summer. It's important to remember the essentials you will need to survive this summer!

1. Swimsuit

This is one thing you will need if your planning to go the beach or lounge around by the pool. Try places like Target, Walmart, JC Penny's and more places for cute suits at an even better price!

2. Sunglasses

Your eyes will thank me later! Buy a nice pair or even a cheap pair to keep in your purse or car.

3. Sunscreen

Sunburns are no joke. Keep sunscreen in your purse or beach bag whenever you know you're going to be in the sun for a long time.

4. A beach towel

It doesn't have to be expensive, but a new towel is always a good idea. With the beach trips and days at the pool, they wear fast.

5. A cover-up

These are super handy if you're at the beach or at someone's house for a pool party! And depending on which one you buy, they can even be worn around after if you choose to go to lunch or things like that.

6. A refillable water bottle

On 90 degree days, having a cold water bottle will be handy! It's super important to stay hydrated on warm days!

7. Beach Bag

This allows you to keep your phone, favorite book from getting wet. They also come in so many cute styles, and make cleaning out the sand a breeze!

8. A cooler/Insulated bag

This isn't a necessity for everyone, but if you know you're going to be spending most of your summer at the beach or camping. This might be something to invest in.

9. Aloe

Because some of you chose to ignore number 3. Aloe and any after sun moisturizer are so helpful to tackle those pesky sunburns. To make the aloe feel even better on your skin, keep it in the fridge!

10. An outfit you feel confident in!

Summer is a time for everyone to shine and embrace the warm weather. Buy an outfit that you feel good in! It's also a good idea to keep or bring a pair of spare clothes with you if you're going to the pool or beach. That way you don't have to walk around in damp clothing all day!

11. Flip Flops

Old Navy is the way to go on this one. With so many different colors, buy a couple pairs and they will last all summer!

12. A hat

Another way to protect your skin from the sun, a hat can easily hide a bad hair day and keep you protected!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
