Summer 2017 is officially here! Whether you're in middle school or a college graduate, you're always going to be looking for the picture-perfect place for seflies and Instagram-worthy pictures. With that, here are the seven best spots around the cities for any type of picture.

1. Minneapolis Wall Crawl

Pictured above, the "I Like You" wall, is one of the many, many murals across Minneapolis. Take an afternoon to go around the city and find as many murals as you can, and be sure to take the most beautiful pictures!

2. Guthrie Theater

Whether you're a theater nerd or not, the Guthrie Theater has something everyone will enjoy: the view. Take a step into the gorgeously yellow box on the outside of the theater to enjoy beautiful views of Minneapolis, while taking spectacular selfies.

3. Stone Arch Bridge

Stone Arch is one of the most breathtaking places around the cities to take a photo. Walk across the bridge to see Saint Anthony Falls, Mill Ruins Park, and Gold Medal Park--all great places for pictures! Stop by Izzy's Ice Cream for the most beautiful, Instagram-worthy shot of ice cream.

4. Witches Hat Water Tower

Now, here's where to get the best view of Minneapolis. Witches Hat Water Tower is an eerie, yet gorgeous place to see the whole city. Only a twenty-minute walk from the University of Minnesota, this is the perfect spot for students to take stunning pictures.

5. Black: Coffee and Waffle Bar

Instead of looking for the perfect selfie, though the Black Coffee and Waffle Bar mural is perfect for a picture with friends, the waffles and latte art are seriously picture-perfect (and they are mighty tasty!)

6. Como Park Zoo and Conservatory

One of the most aesthetically-pleasing parts of Como Zoo is the conservatory, which is home to thousands of colorfully stunning flowers and plants. Again, maybe the conservatory is not an ideal place for selfies, but it is beautiful for close-up flower photos.

7. Mickey's Diner

So, you're in the mood for some lunch and possibly looking to take some retro pictures? Well, you're in luck. Stop by Mickey's in St. Paul to get a delicious burger and shake while taking the cutest retro pics. Also, Mickey's is open 24 hours! That means, say, if you're really bored during ungodly hours of the night, it's time for a photoshoot.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
