The Annual Dilemma

Trying to do Absolutely Anything for Your Summer Birthday

Summer birthdays can sometimes be the worst. Here are my top twelve struggles with this issue.

1. You are typically the youngest in your grade.

2. Planning your birthday meant keeping it low-key.

3. Literally everyone is on vacation so if you want to do anything, it must be planned in advance.

4. You have to be cool with people cancelling.

5. You have to understand that it will never change, even on your important birthdays.

6. If you hope to get off of work for your birthday, you better ask months in advance and continuously remind your boss.

7. If by some chance you do get a decent number of people to attend, its because you're not celebrating on your actual birthday.

8. You make sure everyone remembers when your birthday is.

9. And when your birthday turns out great, it is literally the best day of your life.

10. Then after your birthday you start thinking about next year.

11. The later your birthday is, the more clothes, gift cards, and school supplies you will get.

12. And in the end, you realize that each year you worry, but each year it turns out okay.

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.

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.
