Currently, all my friends and family are clenching their teeth just to walk to their cars, turning their seat warmers on to the max, and trying to survive the final dreadful months of winter. Alabama is a great school, but don't get me wrong the summer is the cherry on top.

Although home may be far from home, I'm glad I can finally put my sweaters and boots away and pull out the cute tanks and live in my swimsuits!

Soak in the studies... and the sun

If I was home, I would be finishing up my semester hoping the sun would come out and deal with a little chill, but in Bama, I can get work done by the poolside. What I love is spending my time in the sun, finishing up homework, eating and napping in the sun. The sun is not only good for your skin, but for your soul.

Weekends at the pool.

Every weekend as soon as my homework is finished, It's always fun to spend the day by the pool. The best thing about Alabama apartments are the complimentary pools for all residents and all there friends to enjoy. If you are a real fan of water, take a trip out to lake Nicol and either sunbathe on the cliff side or paddleboard the day away.

Sunny Side Up

There is nothing like soaking in the sun with some great branch food. Either Sweet Home Food Bar has aesthetic outside seating. You can enjoy some rays and great breakfast at Another Broken Egg and sit by the river.

Run In the Sun

The river walk is the most beautiful place to walk and talk with friends, break a sweat with a quick run, or just sit, relax, and enjoy nature.

ICE CREAM

If you don't go to Ingram Farms on a warm day in Tuscaloosa, you are definitely missing out. Take a quick drive our to Northport and get a scoop or two of Bama's gem and best ice cream you will ever taste

Content Creating

I don't know about you, but its really hard to take pictures outside when it is below zero. If you go out to breakfast or just spending some time in the sun, snap a quick pic to show everyone why going to school in the South is the best thing ever!

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.
