We all love going tanning--who doesn't?! But those 10-15 minutes really rack up when you're standing there just taking in the UV lights. What do girls really do while standing around in the stand up tanning booth?

1. DANCE!

Whether there is music blaring into the tanning booth or you're blasting music on your phone or wearing headphones, no one is in there to judge or watch you, so of course you are going to DANCE! It's the best way to make the time pass, and while you're catching that UV light, you also are getting down and funky listening to music.

2. Text/go through social media

Other than dancing and listening to music, I think we are all guilty of bringing our phones into the tanning booth and catching up on some Instagram posts or Snapchat stories. Heck, we aren't just looking at them... but snapping our besties wearing the funny looking goggles we have to wear.


3. Sort through personal items/money

Once, my friend told me a story about her tanning experience. She said she had to go from school to work and wanted to get a quick tan in, but needed to also stop for gas and dinner. She needed to count her money to make sure she had enough money. She forgot about the air that flows through the tanning booth so when she put her money on the ground to count it and started, the tanning booth turned into a MONEY MACHINE!


4. Stretch in weird positions

No one wants those awkward tans lines under your butt or on the side of your stomach. So in order to avoid those weird tan lines, we stretch into weird positions, whether it's bending forward or leaning over to each side, getting that nice side stretch so every inch gets that nice, even tan.

5. SLEEP!

There is nothing better than going to lay down in the tanning booth and taking a nice 10-15 minute nap. The heat puts you right to sleep, and if you have your music on next to you or inside the booth, that too will put you to sleep. We are all so busy, so there is no better nap time than the time that you're laying in a heated booth.

So next time you ladies or gents want to go get your tan on and soak up the UV lights, think of all the things you do in the tanning booth. We're all doing them with you!

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.

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.
