The time has come… hot girl summer is upon us. It may be May, but in college, summer really starts when finals end. While it may feel that spring just started, anticipation for the summer is all around us. I don’t know if it’s just a gut feeling, but I know this hot girl summer will be better than ever.

And I’d like to mention that I too cannot wait for “Harry’s House,” especially to play the song “Boyfriends” on repeat (once the studio version is released of course). Harry Girl Summer is also upon us. 

Last year, I spent each day crying my hot girl tears to Olivia Rodrigo in my car with my best friend as I drove around the same small town beach and ran into the same people from high school I tried to avoid. While that might not have been the most ideal way for me to be spending my summer, I would always remind myself that hot girl summer is a state of mind. It doesn’t matter where you are, who you are with, or what you are doing: hot girl summer lives within all of us.
