The lake, it's your favorite place to go during the summer and all your best childhood memories take place on or near the water. You're a self-proclaimed lake rat and you wouldn't have it any other way, BUT you must admit that there are some things you could do without...

1. Sticky fingers after eating s'mores.

Look at all that gooey goodness. Emphasis on the gooey.

2. Getting sunburnt.

It doesn't matter how much sunscreen you put on, the sun will find its way through.

3. Jumping into freezing cold water just because you have to pee.

You can't wade in, you just have to jump.

4. Awkward tan lines from that swimsuit you thought was so cute.

Mesh, lace, and crossing straps all looked really cute in the dressing room.

5. Lack of wifi or slow internet.

How will the people know how much fun I'm having here?

6. The sun zapping all your energy.

Rolling up to the dinner table, like "It feels like midnight".

7. Fighting the crowds to shop at the outlet mall.

Does that sign say 70% off?!

8. Having to share a room or bed with your sibling.

This is your half and this is my half, stay on YOUR side.

9. Bug bites, everywhere.

Dang, how did a bug get up there without me noticing?

10. It's hot.

At least this means I don't have to put on makeup or do my hair.

11. Hitting a big wave and getting splashed.

Bonus points if whoever is driving the boat aims to shock you.
