11 Things You Know If You Get Sunburnt Easily
Jeremy Tarling

It's summertime again! For some, that means going out and getting a nice tan. This article isn't for you. It's for the people who hate you a little bit because all we do is burn. The people that really know the lily-white struggle.

1. You either look like a piece of paper or a lobster

There is no in between. There is no nice tan that you see others sporting in the summer.

2. Nice white sundress? Nope

You think it'll look good. But where does your skin end and your dress start? You may never know.

3. You should own stock in sunscreen

When it comes to summer, you have at least three bottles at all times. In your car, your purse, your pool bag...

4. Reapplication is your friend

Personally, I set a timer on my phone so I don't forget to reapply. Everyone knows that if you apply just once, you're definitely going to get burned.

5. So is aloe vera

No matter how often you reapply. Sometimes, you will get burned.

6. Not all sunscreen is created equal

You mean you want me to use the rub sunscreen on my face? With all that oil in it? Nope.

7. You can't borrow sunscreen

Thank you, friend, for offering your SPF 15 sunscreen. But my SPF 100 is needed.

8. It's not just summer

People think that summer is the only time you can get a sunburn. They challenge your paleness.

9. Naked is the only way to be post-sunburn

You may have just a sheet over you, but it will still burn everywhere the sheet touches.

10. Even sunburn? No way

You will never burn evenly all the way around. You will always end up with weird markings for some reason.

11. When there's not any sun

And you know best of all that even when it's cloudy outside, you can still easily get burned.

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.

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.

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.
