Your Stress-Free Summer Right This Way

It’s finally summer. Time to soak up some rays, go on road trips and *actually* enjoy having nothing on your calendar for days on end.

Until, that is, you realize that you’ll spend just about all of your waking hours slinging soft serve. Or that your dad decided everyone should do a cringey family “rap” at the reunion. Oh, or how you’ll be stuck watching your little brother and sister the whole time you’re at the beach. But don’t give up just yet—we’ve got fixes that work, fast.

SUMMER BUMMER

You have a grueling summer job… but none of your friends do.

STAY SUNNY: Schedule fun stuff far in advance—an amazing hike or a midday mani—so you’ve got things to look forward to while you’re making moolah. Plus, think of the positives: You’re gaining a one-up on your résumé, meeting new people and earning extra money for all of that fun stuff you can do with your friends in the fall.

SUMMER BUMMER

It’s * finally* time for your bestie’s all-out annual pool party. But it turns out there will be an uninvited guest: your period.

STAY SUNNY: Ugh, really?! Talk about bad timing. But there’s no rule stating you can’t go to a pool party with your period as your plus one. Ready to dive in? Perfect time to use a tampon. Prefer pads? Put on your prettiest suit and your cutest cutoffs, then toss a Frisbee on the deck, help out at the grill or just dangle your feet in the shallow end. If anyone asks you to take a dip, just smile and say you don’t want to miss out on the next round of cornhole/ping-pong/volleyball/how-low-can-you-go limbo.
