Who's Your sunny Szn Bestie?
Girls' Life magazine|June/July 2024
Your bsf packed her bags for sleepaway camp, leaving you stuck at home, hoping to find a friend to fill her flip-flops. So, in her absence, who's your go-to gal gonna be for the next 10 weeks?
Who's Your sunny Szn Bestie?

Psst: It's likely someone you already know-someone who you're kinda-sorta friendly with but haven't really gotten close to. The summer's all about shaking things up, so snag the sidekick who's going to get you out of your comfort zone and help you get everything you want out of the season. Srsly, go ahead and text her right now...

CARPE DIEM CLAIRE

Ready to turn your wildest wishes into genuine action? Then pair up with the pal who's got a "go for it" vibe. Maybe she's the girl who low-key blew up on Etsy for her custom collage shop. Or maybe she scoops ice cream by day and somehow scored a gig reviewing local concerts by night. This babe is both aspirational and gutsy-and she can inspire you to be the same.

Always wanted to learn how to surf? Dreaming of applying to that highly competitive study-abroad program? She's the one who will challenge you to take small steps in that direction.

TALENTED TAYLOR

She's the girl who's good at everything...but not in an obnoxious way. Instead, she lets her accomplishments do the talking while staying humble (and kind). Just being in the orbit of a super successful someone can motivate you to go after big things, too-whether it's nabbing a medal at your swim meet or earning Camp Counselor of the Week.
