Whether frolicking in the ocean waves or baking in the mirage, one thing is clear: the summer season is upon us.

1. Things like this start showing up in your newsfeed.

2. The daily high temperatures are higher than most grade percentages.

3. Every ad you see has an American flag on it. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

4. You’re suddenly way better friends with classmates who have pools.

5. Every non-major assignment suddenly becomes optional.

6. You finally appreciate the constant AC in Morrison’s room.
