10 Summer Situations Almost All Girls Can Relate To

The joyous hot summer weather brings about a specific set of challenges that every girl must over come. Here's a few of mine.

1. The Reverse Mustache

Giphy

Have you ever put fake tan, or even bronzer, all over your body and face on a hot day in an attempt to get that summer goddess glow? Well if you have, you'll know come night time there will be a small white strip on your upper lip where the dark pigment has sweated off throughout the day, leaving the dreaded reverse mustache.

2. Underarms Puddles

This one again has to do with sweating (eww). The perfect mix of cotton fabric and the summer heat leaves your shirt with a nice dark ring of moisture around your underarms. #TeamNoSleeveSummer

3. Uneven Tans

Giphy

Am I the only person who forgets to flip when they're at the beach tanning? It just never occurs to me, so I always end up with one side of my body being four shades darker than the other.

4. Pedicure Problems

It might just be because I'm constantly in the water at the beach or pool, but my pedicures never last in the summer. After less than just two weeks they start chipping and my skin starts peeling, which is not the move when I wanna be wearing cute sandals all the time.

5. Summer Flings

Giphy

They never last, but it's fun during the months where the sun doesn't set until nine. Then they end and become a simple memory.

6. No Nude Bras

I love wearing fun colored bras, and sometimes I don't mind when they are peeking through my clothing, but in the summer I wear so many light colored shirts that my two nude bras can't keep up with my wardrobe choices. Inevitably, when my sensible bras are in the wash, I'll attempt to pair a dark red bra with light pink shirt hoping that no one will notice the difference. They notice.

7. Pink Cheeks

Giphy

Maybe it's just my facial structure, but somehow I always manage to burn my cheeks no matter how much sunscreen I slather on.

8. Bye Bye Hair Tie

For some reason, I'm always running low on hair ties in the summer. Either they break super easily, or they fall out of my hair while swimming without me realizing. Either way, I'm left with a naked wrist and a burning hot neck.

9. Booty Shorts Verses Hot Car Seats

There is no worse experience than feeling super cute in your short shorts, only to have your thighs slightly seared the moment you sit down in your car.

10. Chapped Lips Pits

I go to extremes to prevent this from happening by using only medicated lip balm and reapplying almost every other hour, but I wouldn't wish chapped lips (especially when you're kissing someone) on anyone.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
