Turn on a sun-splashed movie like Teen Beach Movie or Holiday in the Sun to get in the summer spirit. Watching your fave actors having fun at the beach will lighten your mood and remind you that next summer's not *that* far away.

Applying a tropical sheet mask will *def* set the summer mood, and make you forget about all the homework and online classes you have todo. Instead, you'll tots *zen* out by closing your eyes and picturing palm trees, sun rays and all the beach babes.

Your fave sun-soaked scent will give you all the laid-back summer feels so it's like you're really lounging at the beach—even if you haven't left your room.

Playing beachy music in the middle of winter will definitely put you in a summer mood. Pop in your earbuds and relax with chill tunes like "Do You Believe in Magic?" or "Here Comes the Sun." Or stream the High School Musical 2 soundtrack right from your speakers for some serious throwback vibes.
