We all have those pieces of clothing we claim as our pieces of clothing for the season. Either way, our closet wouldn't be the same without it. These are just a few of the things you'll see me wearing this summer.

1. Flannels

Flannels are the ideal thickness to keep you warm but not too warm on chilly summer nights and fit perfectly around your waist when you're not wearing them.

2. Sun hats

Not only are these hats too cute not to wear, but they also serve a purpose: to keep you from having the sun in your eyes and a sunburn on your face.

3. Oxfords

For those who don't enjoy wearing sandals these shoes are perfect; they're not too warm and they look great with everything from shorts to dresses.

4. High-Waisted Shorts

High-waisted shorts are making a recent comeback as they should be. Not only do they look adorable with just about anything, but they're adding a bit of the '70s to your closet.

5. Converse

I believe Converse have a place in any season any day. They're classic.

6. Designed Tights

Tights can come with many different designs, from floral to stripes, and all of them are equally necessary.

7. Band Tees

Band t-shirts come in handy with any outfit any time of the year. They're comfy, and they add a little grunge to any outfit.

8. Combat Boots

I wear these all the time. They go great with dresses and tights, and shorts too. If you don't already, definitely grab yourself a pair.

9. Crop Tops

This sounds incredibly basic, but they really are great. If you don't want to show skin you can always wear them with high-waisted shorts or a skirt.

10. Sun Dresses

These are perfect for if you want to dress up a little or just for a day outside. Either way, you'll never regret buying one.

11. Thin Sweaters

These are great for bonfires or days inside with air conditioning. I can find a use for a sweater any time of the year.

12. Alien Shirt

I think that these shirts are the cutest thing and they pair well with just about anything. What's better than a little space in your fashion?

13. Flower Crowns

These crowns are great for any pastel outfit you want and they pair wonderfully with a sun dress. Having a bad hair day? Add a flower crown.

14. Midi Rings

These rings have taken over the jewelry world lately. To many they don't make sense, but I find them to be quite cute and unique.

15. Tulip Shorts

These shorts are pretty similar to other shorts, but they're made out of really comfortable material and do a little dip in the middle, making them stand out.

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.
