12 Things That Happen If You Fake Tan

Ahh fake tanning. Although Jersey Shore may have put this method of achieving bronzed skin to shame, it's still a better option for pale people who get 2nd degree burns from 30 minutes in the sun. Being tan is not something that longs to have, but if it is, self and fake tanning is a safe option for the "skin cancer prone" or people who can't seem to keep a tan as easy as others. AKA me...

The palms of your hands are orange and splotchy for a couple weeks after the process

Don't be ashamed, own the Oompa-Loompa hands! Kim K did!

You have a greasy tanning glove or two hidden away somewhere in your room

Those things can be reused, and i'm not going to pay for another one!

There are probably a few orange drip spots on your comforter and/or carpet

These questionable looking stains either happened because you set down your tanning bottle in the wrong spot or accidentally dripped some while in your tanning frenzy.

You've ruined a pair of sheets by sleeping in self tanner before

Don't be alarmed when you pull back your covers and the sheets are a new color.

You have an old pair of shorts and an ugly t-shirt that are designated for wearing after putting a tan on

That t-shirt has ZERO chance of ever leaving the house again.

You walk around like a naked mannequin while it dries

Don't. Smudge. The tan.

Your bellybutton might look mutated if you forget to put tan inside of it

This could only be an issue for innies? Send input.

You can never quite get the tan on even

Hello, weird lines and overly dark knees and elbows!

You have realistic tan lines because you were too lazy to take off your jewelry before self tanning

If you don't have enough time to lay out in the sun to tan, you don't have enough time to take off every ring or bracelet.

People tell you that you look tan

"Aw thank you! I self tanned!"

People tell you that you look orange

*nervous laughter, "oh yeah, I self tanned..."

You feel more confident

My legs never looked better in these shorts!

Although there are ~some~ issues that fake tanning brings about, the confidence boost that it gives, keeps me coming back to the self-tanner isle. If you want to to try something new with your look, or want a little self-image boost that won't have long term effects, give fake tanning a try! And if you hate it, take a trip to the exfoliator section of your local beauty store.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
