A Love Letter To My Chaco Tan Lines

Fifty shades of tan.

A Love Letter To My Chaco Tan Lines
Eden Garrett

Dear Chaco tan lines,

Where have you been all my life? What would I do without a constant reminder of last summer? You are always there for me, and never go away. I really appreciate that.

Every day during the summer while lifeguarding at the pool, what did I do? No, I did not save lives, I worked on my amazing tan line. The competition of who had the best tan line was on, do you know who won? Of course I did. By the end of the summer, we all have the perfect shade of tan and bright white. You glisten in the daylight and bring the whole world happiness.

Nothing compares to you. You are a symbol of hope, love, strength, and freedom. You are stylish and everyone knows that you were expensive to create and I am so proud of you. You are not only proof that I can get extremely tan but that I was really pale during the winter. You also show that I can get 28 shades darker in only two months.

While I love you dearly, sometimes you're inconvenient. When I want to wear other shoes, you always seen to poke through. While during an interview, the interviewer stops and asks about you. While I love you, you are not professional but still adorable so I forgive you.

You are a great topic to talk about, you stand out and makes others notice. You get compliments all the time and I am so proud that you are a part of me. It makes me 100 times cooler when people see you. It makes my day when random strangers say how much they love you, and I do too.

Tan lines, you were there for me all summer, through the winter, and still here while I am getting ready for summer again. Thank you for being there for me though the good times and bad, you are a friend that never goes away and I am forever grateful.

Xoxo,

Dark & Gorgeous

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.
