This week made it official: summer 2011 is in full swing. Summertime means a lot of things–no school work (unless you have summer classes…gross), beach trips, concerts, general outdoor fun stuff, etc. But let’s not forget about one of the most hyped up subjects during these long, hot days–summer romance.

I remember my first kiss, and it was definitely during the summer. After a swim meet. In front of all of my friends. And it was oh-so-romantic. There’s something about the steamy weather and the short break-from-reality feeling that summer brings that makes us all want to find someone to cozy up to for a few months. Or maybe it’s the barrage of summer romance movies that we have been exposed to that make us think we have to find a short summer fling. Because, you know, if you don’t you’re doomed to loneliness!

Either way, it happens, and there are a lot of movies out there to tell us about it. And according to these movies, summer love can come in many different shapes and forms–click to find out more about them.

I don’t really say this all the time, but, seriously, TGI-freakin’-F!

School is slowly creeping up and I’m planning on enjoying every single weekend until I’m back on library lockdown. This week has been full of stupid back to school stuff. Well, most of it was stupid. I did thoroughly enjoy using my creative genius to play interior decorator for my new dorm room, and Momma finally decided it was time for her baby to get a new computer, since my current P.O.S likes to make weird noises and shut down at its own leisure.

But other than that…mostly stupid stuff.

I’m actually kinda looking forward to school this year. It’s time to tell that stupid summer crush buh-bye (he prolly learned about dating on here), and jump into school single and ready to mingle! I do love summer, but there is something about the first week back that has me super excited!  Mostly that first weekend when me and the girls make our grand debut and meet all the eligible hotties (and some less than desirable men that will inevitably the topic o’ convo during the next morning’s…er…afternoon’s breakfast). Ugh, I’m so excited I don’t even care about the inevitable hangover I’ll have for the first day of classes. Mostly because I have discovered the ultimate cure.

Yup, this year is gonna be a good one and I just want to get it started!
School, here. I. come.

Dear Tuffy Luv,

So I’m home from college for the summer and kind of lonely. I dated around this year at school but nothing serious like my high school boyfriend (let’s call him K). Anyway, K is home from school today and we’ve been hanging out but I know he wants to hook up and I think I do too. But I don’t want him to be my boyfriend when I go back to school. Should I hook up with him or not? I’m pretty sure I’m going to. Would that be screwed up?

Dear Tricia,

So, like, this is a trick question because you’ve obviously already decided to hook up with him. Right? I mean, why are you gonna write to me and say you’re gonna do it then? Well, anyway, I think you should go for it, so I guess you’re in luck.
