Ah, summer, that magical time we wait all year for. A time when "No shoes, no shirt, no service" ceases to be enforced and hair straighteners are pushed aside until fall. Though the end of spring semester may seem like the beginning of summer vacation, the truth is that you can't officially call it summer until these ten things start happening to you regularly.

1. The clothing choices made by the customers of Walmart.

Did you look in the mirror before leaving home?

2. Instant sweat when you walk outside.

Does anybody have a towel I could borrow?

3. Constantly hearing the phrase, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity".

It's not the heat OR the humidity that's making me mad, it's you.

4. Not being able to find a parking spot (or lounge chair) at your neighborhood pool.

Who are these people?

5. Children, EVERYWHERE.

Aren't you supposed to be in daycare...or something?

6. All the old people have returned from migrating south.

And the speed limit drops 10 mph.

7. Social media is flooded with vacation pictures.

What color scheme should white families across America wear this year on the beach?

8. Getting a tan line and realizing how pale you were all winter.

Bonus points if you have a summer foundation and a winter foundation.

9. Shoes that aren't sandals are nowhere in sight.

Unfortunately, this also means you're forced to see really weird and ugly feet wherever you go.

10. Everyone who goes to camp wants you to send them letters.

Getting something in the mail that isn't a bill is so exciting!!

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
