The Stages Of Sunburn

1. I’m going to go to the pool/beach. It’s going to be awesome!

2. Better bring the sunscreen/tanning oil.

3. Towel? Check. Drinks? Check. All my other crap? Check.

4. Read for some sun! Warm sun on your skin is the best feeling in the world.

5. I better scope out the best spot that gives me a good distance to the water and a decent amount of sun.

6. Lather up because it’s time to chill. Oh yeah, this is the life.

7. Shades on, there is no shame in my game.

8. Alright I’m gonna lay on my back first for 15 minutes and then turn. All about that even coverage.

9. Has it been 15 minutes yet?

10. And I’m going to turn over now.

11. Why do my eyes feel weird? I had them closed the whole time.

12. It’s so hot ... I am dying. Better open up my drink.

13. Much better. I better cool off in the water a little bit!

14. That was great! Maybe I can get just a little more sun before I leave.

15. Man, I feel good. Today was a pretty good day.

16. I think I’m gonna shower and get the chlorine/salt water off of me.

17. Are my shoulders a little pink?

18. Nah, I’m just imagining it.

19. This warm water stings a little ... I guess I’m taking a cold shower.

20. Okay, maybe I got a little burned.

21. *looks in mirror*

22. OMG, this looks terrible! I’m turning a dark pink!

23. What did I do to deserve this? Bad things happen to good people man.

24. I better Snapchat this. Ouch! It hurts to move my arms.

25. How does this always happen to me? I used stuff to keep this from happening.

26. It’s been a few hours, and I’m even redder now. Ughhhhh.

27. How am I burned in even more places than I was before?! Is that even possible???

28. So, I guess I’m not going to look good when I go out later.

29. Aloe is BAE. I mean Chipotle is BAE, but for now, Aloe is BAE. #SorryNotSorry

30. I can’t reach that spot on my back. How the heck am I supposed to reach it? This is why it sucks to be alone.

31. Okay, maybe if I turn my body this way and move my arm a little more to the left...

32. Nope, this isn’t going to work. Guess I’m just going to deal with the pain.

33. It hurts to put on clothes.

34. Can I just stay naked? Naked is good right now.

35. Okay ... maybe not because now I’m cold. Maybe partial clothes?

36. This sucks ... this was clearly a bad decision.

37. Do I even want to look in the mirror?

38. Why did I look? I knew it wasn’t going to be prettyI’m a freaking lobster. Look out everyone; I’m the real dancing lobster.

39. #LobsterStatus

40. Why is there still no lobster emoji??? SMH.

41. I’m never going out in the sun again.

42. “Wanna go to the beach next weekend?”

43. “Sure!”

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.
