Summer Break: The Fun-Loving YouTube Reality Series

As the Kardashians hold the world's realest crystal ball in their freshly manicured, Armenian hands while "The Real Housewives" swarm any and all forms of social media and entertainment news, it is no question that reality TV has reached its highest peak. Although "Jersey Shore" proved to be a ridiculously entertaining success within the reality genre, very few teens/young adults, the largest percentage of reality tv's viewers, could exactly view the lives of the fist and drink throwing Guidos/Guidettes as "reality." On the other hand, what makes "reality" TV so popular amongst this young generation is that it allows people to enter and experience someone else's so-called "reality" that also happens to be semi-glamorous and entertaining. If only there could be a show that peered into teens' captivating reality while still having that relatable factor. Oh wait....there is.

"Summer Break," a reality series on YouTube, serves as "Laguna Beach"'s prodigy as it follows a group of teens around Southern California and catches every drop of gossip, drama, laughter, fun and tears. Their actual reality of living in the sunshine and consistent beautiful weather of Santa Monica makes viewers escape into an oceanic paradise. Female viewers will especially fall into utter jealously over the girl cast's fashion sense, as I myself wish I could have/afford even a fraction of their wardrobes. However, teens will form a digital bond with members of the cast as they experience confusion over hook-ups, dating versus "things" with the members of the opposite sex, and tested friendships. High school upperclassmen and even college freshman will form a deeper connection with Summer Breakers as they face the excitement and fear that comes along with leaving for college, starting a new chapter in a new part of the world, and being separated from the comfort of life-long friends.

Currently on its third season, Summer Break will migrate with these young adults as they travel around Cali, struggle with friendships and exes, and say their final goodbyes before their collegiate years. Each cast member has his/her own morals, way of thinking, personalities, and goals, as explained in his/her "Bio" on "Summer Break"'s YouTube Channel. As each and every cast member is given the opportunity to express themselves and project their confidence, "Summer Break" teaches teens to embrace their independence and individuality on a much more personal level. Viewers can even follow deeper into the lives of Dash, Jacob, Ava S, Ava L, Sofia, Yahn, Shea, Noah, ARad, Justin, and Haley through their social media accounts on Twitter and Instagram.

Indulge into the lives of these young and fun-loving Southern Californians as they surf through their final summer together before everything changes. New episodes are posted to their YouTube channel every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Check it out @SummerBreak.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
