Mom: Don’t forget to re-apply sun screen every couple of hours.

Me: Don’t worry, I won’t.

Me: *too busy living life to follow instructions*

Me:


We've all been there. This time of year everyone is trying to get their dose of sunshine before the sun goes back into hiding for half of the year. The phrase "fun in the sun" perfectly describes everyone's summer goals. If you are lucky enough to get a day off of work in the summer, there is no doubt that you won't be attempting to spend it outdoors.

That being said, the sun doesn't quite love everybody the same way. Each person has a different way of reacting to sunshine. Despite my love for the sunshine and the outdoors, my typical reaction to the sun is a sunburn. Tragic, I know.

Here are 17 common thoughts I have while dealing with sunburns.

1. Wow this hurts!!!!!!!!

2. I am going to be a lobster, there is no doubt about it.

3. Do you think I could fit my entire body in a freezer?

4. Do I buy the aloe vera gel or the aloe vera lotion?

5. Should I just buy both?

6. I wonder how soon I'll start peeling?

7. Wow, the gel and lotion are both pretty pricey.

8. Everyone is staring at my burnt face right now.

9. Wow this still really hurts.

10. Wow kind stranger, thanks for telling me I look like I have a sunburn, I didn't realize!

11. Why does skin peel? I feel like a snake right now.

12. Thanks grandma for tagging me in another "How to heal a sunburn" article on Facebook, super duper helpful information.

13. How do people live in Florida? Or Hawaii? This is absurd.

14. Since I've bought both the lotion and the gel, when do I use each?

15. Is there an aloe vera bath bomb at Lush?

16. My friend just tagged me in an "aloe vera ice cube" video, this is the kind of information I need!!

17. I could really go for an ice cream cone right now, but if I drop it, I'll forever be remembered as the fat guy from Lilo and Stitch.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
