The sun is finally out and the pool is finally open! It's time to grab your sunglasses and spend the afternoon tanning poolside with your best pals. But heed my warning- do NOT be the poor soul that forgets the sunscreen.
The excitement of going to the pool for the first time this summer can be overwhelming.
You're prepared to spend the afternoon napping in the sunshine and all its glory.
*3 hours later*
The sun starts to get to you...
And you realize what you have done.
Yep, you didn't put on any sunscreen and you now look like this:
You call your mom, knowing what you did was wrong. But you are still hoping for advice and sympathy.
Turns out, she didn't have any sympathy.
With every passing hour, your sunburn grows more vibrant in color and you swear you could fry an egg on your skin.
People pass you in Walmart and stare at your poor, pitiful skin.
They try to offer words of advice.
Trying to change clothes is a task with pain written all over it.
Oh and taking a shower: good luck trying not to scald your skin.
You can just forget sleeping comfortably for the next few nights.
But it will eventually go away and you can look forward to the nice tan that follows.
Sunburns can be incredibly painful, especially if sun poisoning develops. So to avoid that, just apply sunblock! It usually smells like a tropical island and it protects you from skin cancer. Win win in my book!
