As summer comes around the corner, the sun starts to come out and life gets good; students often start to get anxious in class. Sitting and waiting for the bell to ring on the last day of school, running outside with the feeling of freedom. You can’t have a good summer without these summer essentials. Here are some of the trendy items this summer!

1. Beach Blankets: Beach blankets allow you to lie on the beach without all the sand seeping through a normal blanket or towel. These boho/hippie blankets are great for soaking up the sun in style.
2. Rompers: Don’t feel like putting an outfit together? Easily slip into one of these stylish rompers this summer. They are super cute, comfy and perfect for any occasion! You can dress them up with a jean jacket and necklace or just keep it casual with the basic romper itself.
3. Hydro-Flasks: The water bottle of the year. With stainless steel exterior, these water bottles can keep drinks at a cold temperature for a very long time. All around the school you can see both students and teachers carrying these around. “They also come in a bazillion colors” Maggie Borland said. You can be very creative with hydro-flasks because you can customize them with stickers and you are able to mix and match colors.
4. Birkenstocks: Known for their comfortable soles, Birkenstocks are unlike any other sandal. They have a very soft fabric such as leather and suede. These sandals are designed to last for a very long time (which is why they are very expensive.) Over time, the shoe molds into your foot shape to make walking more comfortable.
5. Lounge floats: These floats are very trendy this year. From giant pink donuts to huge swans, these floats have been seen all over social media.
