There are some people who tan by just sitting outside for an hour. Some people never need to touch sun screen a day in their life. Some people just have the perfect skin tone that will never burn, peel, or crack. Lucky them, am I right?

If you get sunburnt frequently, then your life during the summer is probably just a little bit more of a struggle than other peoples. You feel the pain, literally and figuratively, every single time the sun comes out.

If you're one of these people, these 15 truths of being prone to sunburn will accurately describe your summer struggles:

1. You never go anywhere without your sunscreen.

2. You can literally feel yourself burning as soon as you step into the sun.

3. You've experienced 1st and maybe even 2nd-degree sunburns in your life so far.

4. If you forget sunscreen, you're out of luck unless miraculously you're with someone else who burns too.

5. You're the mom friend when it comes to sunscreen, and encourage your friends to wear it often.

6. You've learned from experience that you must rub sunscreen in to avoid strange burns.

7. You've definitely heard someone say, 'You should really get that checked out,' in reference to your peeling sunburn.

8. Some days you lather up your sunscreen and it's still not enough to save you.

9. You know how awful it is to shower or even do simple tasks after you get a sunburn.

10. You don't tan, you get slightly less pale.

11. You're sick of how expensive sunscreen is because you have to buy at least 3 bottles every beach trip.

12. You can't go swimming by yourself because someone has to get your back for you.

13. Lol, and tanning oil? In your dreams.

14. You're at a much higher risk of getting skin cancer and it's a tad frightening.

15. No matter how prone you are to getting sunburnt, you still try to go without sunscreen once each summer in hopes of getting some color.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
