11 Signs You Know You're Ready For It To Just Be Summer Already

Jenna Pizzi

As it continues to snow, all I keep thinking about is summer. Being home tanning with your friends on the beach.. what could be better?

Here are signs when you know you're ready for the sunshine and tan lines:

1. You're already shopping for bathing suits

You're lying if you say you haven't even started looking online. (Don't forget to ask mom and dad for that beloved credit card.)

2. You start sending pictures from last summer in your group chat

Seeing all of the good times that you guys had will most definitely put you in the summer mood. Beach pictures, house parties and, most importantly, the food. You know you miss it.

3. You won't stop complaining about how pale you are

Get this girl some Vitamin C, pronto!

4. You start making plans with your school friends about when you're visiting

The withdrawal will be real but that's why there is always time for a little road trip!

5. You spend a little more time at the gym

Yeah definitely don't look like this at the gym. The goal is to avoid every mirror in sight so I don't see the sweaty mess that I am. If I can't see it, maybe it's not real.

6. You decide it's time to start eating healthy

Aka, only eating two slices of pizza instead of four. Compromise.

7. You start to give up on your classes

Yup. Kimmy K on point right there. My mood every time I walk into class.

8. You're so over the cold weather

Bring on the shorts and tank tops.

9. You JUMP on those pre-summer sales

"Mom, I needed it. It was a two for one deal, how could I say no?"

10. You wear shorts even if it's a little warm out

You know you are sooo over your heavy coat and sweaters. It's time for shorts and t-shirts... but why doesn't the weather know that?

11. You have a countdown for Memorial Day Weekend

There is no better start to your favorite time of the year other than Memorial Day Weekend. Just you, your friends and some good times.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
