10 steps on how to stay cool in the summer sunshine

1. Go shopping for a Summer wardrobe. Yayyyyyyy! 

2. Find a killer bikini á la Jennifer Lawrence. You might not be flicking your hair for a photo shoot like Jennifer, but hey, why not pretend you are!

3. Wear sun cream - no one wants to rock the lobster look 

4. If you're a hat person, find a summer hat. If you're not a hat person, now is the time to find the perfect hat

5. And sunglasses too of course, like Rihanna 

6. Whether you're doing a staycation or going on a vacation, go swimming! Not only is it great exercise, but it's also a great way to tan and cool down 

7. Find some cute summer dresses. Helps for Kendall and Kylie that they have their own clothing line, so unfortunately, us normal folk just have to go shopping for our dresses 

8. Accessorise - this image is taken from Accessorize's S/S 2014 collection

9. Hydrate! Your body, your skin and your waistline will thank you

10.  Look fabulous like Blair and Serena. Still can't believe Gossip Girl is over *sob*

Why Game of Thrones is taking over the world (some spoilers)

1. There's so much deceit. It's basically the premise of the whole show

2. There's a lot of nudity. And I mean, A LOT

3. There's good old fashioned sword/spear fights

4. There's humour

5. There are a lot of deaths, usually from characters you least expect to die

6. There are some fleeting moments of love. Fleeting because people usually die 

7. There are dragons, and dragons are awesome! 

8. There's dark magic 

9. There are White Walkers and they are terrifying 

10. You never know what's going to happen...

Why University students DO have it hard

1. No one wants to hire us during summer holidays and it's still a struggle after we've earned our degree

2. We've never had this much work before, and we HATE it 

3. We're students, how are we supposed to wake up for 9am lectures and be focused?! Not going to happen!

4. We have to sit through lectures where we literally have no idea what's going on - it's a lot harder than it looks! 

5. How are we supposed to get good grades, have a good social life, and maintain relationships? It's basically impossible! 

6. We have to endure group work, which never ends up being the participation of the group, but your participation and yours only

7. There's so much pressure on us to do well that it's like a cloud of impending doom over us 

8. Exams were invented by the devil 

9. We have to do all our own chores. Food shopping and cleaning is so boring it makes me want to weep

10. Some of the lecturers are so boring that they send us to sleep. Literally. It makes us want to scream at them

4. When you find grey hairs. SHOCK HORROR! 

5. When you don't get ID'd anymore 

6. When you're a parent

7. When children say you're old. As if we needed reminding!

10. When you don't remember people's names after meeting them 2 minutes earlier
