School is out, the sun is hot, watermelons are in season, and the pools are full. This could only mean one thing: summer break. Whether you're a kindergartner or a senior in college summer is, has, and always will be the sweetest part of the year.

Summer Lovin'

1. Pool Days

There isn't much I would want to be doing other than tanning, sipping on a smoothie, and buying obnoxious pool floats.

2. Cook Outs

I don't care if it is a family cookout, my best friend's, or some random campus group. If there is food, I'm there.

3. But Seriously the Food...

Whoever created the "summer menu", well that guy deserves a trophy. Corn on the cob, watermelon, popsicles, burgers?? Yum.

4. Shout out to the sun

It is your prime time. Give us tan! Give us freckles! Give some of us a lobster-y glow!

4. Travel

There are no exams to worry about, no school on Monday, so lets go somewhere! Whether it's Disney World with your best friends (shout out to them), a lake day with your family, or you're living it up on the beaches in Costa Rica. There's nothing better than a good vacation.

5. Camping

The best type of travel in the summer is when you stay outside all night. Pitch a tent, enjoy the great outdoors, have a fire, and for the love of all things make s'mores.

The Good the Bad and the Pizza

I would be lying if all I did during the summer was go to the pool and get tan. So here are some other of my most favorite summer activities.

1. The Binge

I watched all 12 seasons of "Grey's Anatomy" within two weeks. I want to receive a high five, but I also kind of deserve to be told I am absolutely ridiculous, which is true. We all have that show we just can't stop watching, no matter how many hours it will consume.

2. The Pizza

I don't think there is a time of year that pizza isn't delicious. But what is a better pair than 11 hours of "Orange is the New Black" and a large pizza? Nothing. Well except maybe Ross and Rachel from "Friends".

3. The Maximum Laziness

When you wake up at 1 PM and still just feel like you're going to be useless all day and not leave the bed. You'll probably watch more "How I Met Your Mother", but either way you aren't taking a shower, you're not putting on real clothes, and you absolutely are not going to do anything useful. Unless updating your Facebook profile picture is useful.

4. Free Time for Friends

The best is having all the time in the world to go to coffee with your girlfriends, go see the new Zac Efron movie, or take all day prepping for one hot date.

Thanks Doug for keeping a smile on my face daily. You are the real MVP.
