Freckles. They come in every shape, size and color. But don't play it too safe! From those annual dermatologist visits to the constant reminder of how bad your skin will become if sunscreen isn't a necessity, we all have been there. Here are 13 things that people with freckles have faced at least once in their life... okay let's be serious EVERY DAY!?!

1. The reproduction of freckles gets intense when the sun hits

Thirty minutes in the sun for us is like spending an eternity in a tanning bed for others.

2. The dermatologist is on speed dial

"Um, so sorry to interrupt your dinner, but I have a strange freckle on my big toe, HELP ME! AM I GOING TO DIE!?!"

3. Constant reminder by the elderly to wear sunscreen

"I hear this every day from my mother.... and you aren't her so I would shush!"

4. ABCD has a completely different meaning to you

ABCDEFG, I might have skin cancer, was I too carefree?

5. Rashguards/T-Shirts are your best friends at the pool

Don't even get me started on the 'lovely' tan lines. It brings all the boys to the yard!

5. Your friends try connecting the dots

You wake up with a sharpie mustache on your face, then you later find out that it is a connect the dots mustache.

6. Sunscreen is found in all your makeup

Forget SPF 20, that is for the rookies, hand me the SPF 115.

7. Your friends attempt to count them all

Hahahhahahhahah... nice try.

8. "You should get that one checked out"

This constant reminder makes me question humanity.... LIKE GIRL, I GET MY YEARLY CHECK UPS!?!

9. Putting on foundation is like putting on a new face

Why hasn't someone invented foundation for people with freckles!?!

10. You want to show off your freckles but you still need some serious concealer

Wondering where the eff your freckles went. You're a whole new person.

11. You are constantly told you are 'cute'

"Ah, okay we got it."

12. You sit there in the mirror wondering if its a pimple or a freckle

After thirty minutes of staring in the mirror, you give up and put acne medicine all over your face because spot treating is impossible!

13. "Will I ever turn into a big freckle?"

"I wonder if all my freckles come together, I might be one big one."

Now, don't be ashamed of your cute spots, or what I like to call 'angel kisses.' Embrace them and be different... just don't forget the sunscreen... it's VITAL!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
