10 Weird Sunburns Everybody Has At Least Once

No matter how hard you try, they're bound to happen.

No matter who you are, you've probably had a sunburn before. No matter how many times you reapply sunscreen or how short of a time you spend in the sun, a sunburn is bound to occur at least once.

Sometimes you'll burn evenly- like when you forget to apply sunscreen on your shoulders- and sometimes your skin may end up with random patches of sunburn from missing a couple of spots. Weird sunburns happen. Here are some everyone probably experiences at one point in their life.

1. Sunburn on just your nose

Sometimes we forget to put sunscreen on our noses and end up looking like Rudolph for a few days. Too bad it's not Christmastime.

2. Sunburn on your scalp

Although it's not necessarily weird, it is a place you wouldn't think to sunscreen. Throwing on a hat will help prevent having a sunburned scalp that will be painful and peeling shortly after.

3. Sunburn on the tops of your feet


Yeah, putting on shoes will be pretty painful after burning your feet.

4. Sunburn on your bellybutton

I didn't think this was possible until I looked in the mirror this morning.

5. Handprint sunburn

Unfortunately, it's not just something that happens in movies.

6. A sunburn outlining body paint/a temporary tattoo

I once had a friend that had a "PTV" sunburn (for the band Pierce the Veil) on her chest the day before she left for vacation in England. You can bet she got asked a lot of questions.

7. A sunburn on just your hairline

Not wanting to get sunscreen in your hair, you put it just below your hairline. Little do you know, you've just made a terrible mistake and will be walking around with a red strip of forehead skin.

8. A splotchy sunburn in all of the places you missed a spot

Having spots of red on one leg, a foot, a shoulder, half of your chest and an arm just isn't the look you were going for.

9. A sunburn on half of your body or face


Try not to sit out in the sun with it only shining on half of your face for too long (or just put on sunscreen beforehand).

10. A full-body sunburn

Yup. That has to be the worst kind of sunburn.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
