The hot trends you'll be sure to see on the beach this summer are fun, flirty, and reminiscent of an exotic vacation! I hope to give all you beach bound and summer loving fashionistas a heads up on the major patterns and styles that you'll want to take straight to the sand.

The Round Beach Towel

An Australian sea-side trend has hit the coasts of the USA. Not only does the unique shape allow you timeless tanners to soak up the sun lying at any angle you so choose, but it also means that the overall towel size is huge! Who doesn't love an oversized towel, right?

When the summer months' end, you don't have to say goodbye to this baby. Use it throughout the school year to bask in the quad or have a picnic with friends. The possibilities that come with the shape, size and fabulous prints of these towels are endless.

Don't be square, stand out with a round towel of your own! Some retailers with cute designs are Jame's Boutique, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, and Belk.

Palm Prints

The chic palm leaf print is everywhere. You can find this tropical print featured in clothes, home decor, beach wear, and even tech accessories! Whether you are planning to spend your summer by the sea or inland, the vibrant green shades and the bold pattern will make you feel like you've been transported straight to the tropics with a fruity cocktail (or mocktail) in hand!

I find that T&J Designs have the cutest combinations of the palm leaf print and flirty styles of tops and dresses. For decor, I would recommend checking out PB Teen's new Emily and Meritt collection which features a number of home items such as pillows, blankets, wallpaper, towels and more, that pair the warm green leaves with a pop of pink! Urban Outfitters has this cute macbook skin that will surely make you feel like an islander while you surf the web.

Pom Poms and Tassels

Bloggers and designers everywhere are embracing their playful side, adding colorful pom poms and large tassels to their wardrobe. Reminiscent of island colors, the accents in clothing, accessories, and jewelry will have you feeling fun and flirty this summer. Spread the exotic, island vibes with everyone around you this summer.

Tassel and pom-pom earrings are an easy and quick way to add some color and fun to your outfit! Find a variety of colored pom earrings and tassel earrings at Bevello or BaubleBar!

Sun Hats

Finally, those picture-worthy hats that are populating your Instagram. Big, straw sunhats are on trend this summer, showcasing sassy comments and inciting a carefree vibe. Embrace the statement piece by the pool, on the beach or even on a lunch date in the city.

Find a sunhat that has a message that fits you! Whether it say "out of office," "talk to the sand," "I can't even," or "do not disturb," surely, there is one out there that characterizes your unique personality and sense of humor all while looking fabulous! Get out there and throw some shade with one of your own. A good place to start your search for your perfect summer accessory would be Nordstrom or T&J Designs!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
