School’s out…or just about. What do the next months of freedom have in store for you? Whether it’s finding the most stellar swimsuit or the perfect cutie to oogle over from afar, summertime brings a slew of challenges and fun.
Twenty-one-year-old Chelsea Staub knows all about that! Her character, Stella Malone, on JONAS L.A. is dropping everything this summer for an unforgettable vacay on the west coast with bestie Macy Misa and the Lucas clan.
What words of wisdom does the starlet have for all of us as we prep for these sizzlin’ months? We caught up with her on the JONAS L.A. set to find out. And be sure to catch Chelsea and the rest of the cast when JONAS L.A. premieres this Sunday, June 20, at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on the Disney Channel.
Summer Rule #1: Keep in touch
“Some of my favorite things over summer vacation were the care packages you would send to friends because we would all go off to different camps. We would send these cool letters to each other, drawings, snacks and funny photos. Opening the mail from my friend from camp was [one of] my favorite things to do.”

Summer Rule #2: Make an effort to reconnect with your buds after vacay
“Try to hang out. Try to make it a big deal that you’ve been separated and just enjoy your time together. You tend to pick up right where you left off with the people you really care about and the people who really care about you. If you drift apart, maybe it’s for a reason.”

Summer Rule # 3: Don’t dwell on an ex
“If a boy breaks up with you because he wants to be single during summer vacation, the bright side of that is you are now single as well. That means you’re fair game to go out, meet cute guys and have your own summer romance, which is really fun. It’s the perfect time to reinvent yourself. Luckily, you don’t have to see him at school every day [so] just enjoy having a fresh start.”

Summer Rule #4: Show your pearly whites around your crush
“Just smile. Nobody’s turned off by somebody who looks happy.”

Summer Rule #5: Don’t leave home without a great bathing suit
“I grew up in Arizona, so we lived in our bathing suits—even if we weren’t in the pool because it was like 500 degrees. Definitely [find] a cute bathing suit [that’s right for you].”

Summer Rule #6: Always stash a sundress
“A cute little sundress will doll up [your swimsuit]. It fits in your purse or bag, easy to carry [and] doesn’t wrinkle.”
