Is the lifeguard looking?

12 Thoughts Everyone Has At the Beach
Rebloggy

On sunny beach days, there are common thoughts that connect all of us when we’re tanning on the same strip of sand or laughing (seemingly) carefree in the ocean because we’re (totally) not thinking about sharks. Is every crevice of you covered in sand? Have you been fantasizing about that cute lifeguard? We’ve been there. We’ve all been there. And here’s some more things we’ve all thought about while fashionably clad in swimsuits.

1. Do I have to take my clothes off....it seems like....EVERYONE IS WATCHING.

It's like an awkward strip show to get into your bathing suit because OBVIOUSLY everyone isn't looking at the ocean scenery when you're blessing them with your beauty. #duh #logic

2. Debating on fake drowning so the hot lifeguard will rescue you.

He'll never have to know, right? The things we do for love...

3. If I swim out past these waves a shark will surely eat me.

It's just waiting for us to feel comfortable before it strikes. How RUDE. How INCONSIDERATE. Doesn't it know you're trying to get in touch with nature right now? To be one with the ocean?? It doesn't matter how many other people there are swimming and how crowded the beach is, sharks are clearly fearless and masterminds at navigating crowds to specifically target YOU. #WhyYouSoObsessedWithMe

4. I TOUCHED SOMETHING IN THE WATER OMG I JUST FREAKIN TOUCHED SOMETHING!!?!!

This is it. This was how you'd go. It was slimy. The water is dark. Yes you see those tiny little green strands floating around the water, but if anyone asks it was a killer eel. There was obviously a sea monster waiting to grab you that was, again, OBVIOUSLY not seaweed.

5. When you tannin' and look down to check out how bomb you look:

Clearly, you lookin' bomb af.

6. You: I definitely put on enough sunscreen.

Sun:

But why though.

7. Sand is in places it should never be, you're in uncharted territory now.

A WHOLE NEW WORLD. ALL NEW SENSATIONS. DEFINITE CHAFFING OCCURRING.

8. Are those girls taking bikini booty photos...Yes. Yes they are.

Judgement....so hard....to withhold....

9. But for real, how many people have peed in this water.

And like think of how many animals do the do here....and the amount of dead bodies that are in the ocean right now....that you could possibly be......touching.....

10. This is a total rip-off, where are the dolphins.

I didn't pay for this. Actually, I didn't pay for anything.

11. King Triton, can you hear me?

*aggressively sings the Ariel theme song* I'm down to be a mermaid, just so we're clear. Can the dolphins pick me up? I'll just be waiting here. On this rock.

12. Wow the waves are so calm today. Is this all you got mother nature?

*thunder clouds swirl in the sky* *triggers tsunami*

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
