15 Types Of People You Encounter At The Beach
Dreamatico

We all love the beach. It is, without a doubt, everyone's favorite summertime pastime. There is nothing better than getting some much needed sunshine and relaxation. The beach is also one of the only places that you will encounter people from all walks of life. There is no where else that you will find such a diverse group of people, other than at the airport, of course—but that's a completely different story.

Here are the types of people you are always bound to run into at the beach:

  1. The family with the screaming babies. Why would parents bring these children to the beach, when all they are going to do is scream and cry when sand blows into their faces? Ugh.
  2. The two teens that are madly in love. We are all secretly jealous of these people. Let's be honest—who doesn't fantasize about taking long romantic walks on the beach with their significant other?!
  3. The middle-aged women who should not be wearing bikinis. These women have no shame. But please, do us all a favor next time and look in the mirror before you go out in public looking like this.
  4. The family with eight kids and tons of different beach games. They take up about a quarter of the beach because they are playing a huge game of flag football. They don't really bother you, until you get smacked in the face with a football because some careless kid doesn't see you walking in his direction.
  5. The Spring Breakers. It's all fun and games until some random girl decides it's a good idea to vomit all over your stuff. Yay!! Spring Break!
  6. The cute old married couple. #RelationshipGoals.
  7. The girls with the selfie sticks. Oh, how we love selfie sticks. They are totally socially acceptable if the president approves, right?
  8. The woman who fell asleep in the sun and forgot to wear sunscreen. #LobsterStatus.
  9. The Frat Bros. Although we love staring at these guys, they are a bit obnoxious. They seem to think that the beach is their frat house, which it definitely isn't.
  10. The girls taking a photo shoot for Instagram. We are all guilty of this one. We know most of these pictures are staged—you don't actually look that hot!
  11. The European tourists who didn’t realize that in America, people wear bathing suits to the beach. There's nothing wrong with a nude beach—except for when you are not actually at a nude beach. Please just stop what you are doing and go put on a bathing suit.
  12. The man in an internationally acclaimed bathing suit—the speedo. Nobody finds this attractive. Cover yourself up before you start to scare off young children.
  13. The person who is completely covered from head to toe because they are petrified of the sun. #SPF110. As if the beach wasn't hot enough already. You sweat just thinking about showing up to the beach dressed in pants, a sweatshirt, sneakers, and a floppy hat in the 90 degree weather.
  14. The jogger that should be wearing a sports bra, not a bathing suit. These people are not actually exercising. There is no way someone can look this good while working out. They are just trying to show off their beach bods.
  15. The guy with the metal detector who thinks he will find hidden treasure. This modern day pirate is the most bizarre one of all. But hey, you do you.

Ahh, don't you just love people? NOT!

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.

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.
