Ahh, sweet summer, the sun is out, and the shades are on. The new array of sunnies is surprisingly not due to the reason your future is so bright, you gotta put on the shades, or, as Kanye and Jay Z would guess, "Sunglasses and Advil / last night was real mad." It's actually because your stylish sunglasses give those around you insight and introspect into your personality.

OK, this might be a little far-fetched, but with the variety of sunglasses coming into style this summer, here is what is presumed from the shades you rock this summer:

1. The Hippie Glasses Homies

OliviaDeLucia

Homegirl is all about the good vibes. She probably goes to either Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, or Electric Forest (or all of the above) every year. She is the type of friend to chill with this summer if you feel like grabbing some ice cream, watching the sunset or having a movie night. Hippie Glasses Girlies are artsy, love music and are always themselves. They aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in when they need to but always portray themselves in the #GoodVibes way.

2. The Aviator Angels

OliviaDeLucia

The girls that attribute to exclusively wearing aviators, not only sustain this style and keep it up and running but also love to stick to the classics. These girls know just what to wear to every social gathering, and don't try to be something they aren't. They are classy, but also fun. They love to have a good time and know just how to dress it up or bring it down when it's the appropriate time. While some say aviators are basic, let's just say there is a reason why they never go out of style.

3. The Darlin' Divas

OliviaDeLucia

The Darlin' Divas wear strut the sunnies that look like they just got out of mimosas with the gals, not just on Sunday's, but weekdays as well. The Diva Glasses give the persona these ladies know what they want and how to get it. They dress up any outfit and go perfectly with any shade of lipstick, a perfect accessory to a girl that is out to chase her dream in the world.

4. The "What Ya See Is What Ya Get" Sunnies

OliviaDeLucia

The girls that rock the see-through shades have nothing to hide. What you see is what you get, in their minds. They are the girls that are loyal, passionate and always down for a good time this summer. They love to have new experiences. They go with the flow, speak their minds, and always have their friends' back.

5. A Little "Pop Of Color"

OliviaDeLucia

These ladies put on the shades that bring color into the world. They are fun, sweet and creative. They love to express themselves with color and aren't afraid to show their emotion. They don't mind being the brightest one in the room, in fact, they take pride. Who needs sunshine, when they have these girlfriends in their lives?

As you can see, there is so much more behind a person's style then what we first thing. While some days we roll out of bed and put on the first thing we find, (or whatever sunglasses block your squinting eyes from the sun during your morning drive), we often use style as a way to express ourselves. So remember your vibe is just as bright as you this summer, and if you need to throw some shade, your go-to glasses can help you with that too.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
