When you're enclosed in a human microwave, left with nothing but your thoughts, things can get pretty weird.

1. How many naked people have lied here today?

I wonder if they ACTUALLY cleaned the bed... It's always a question but it never seems to stop me from laying my bare body onto the potentially infected surface.

2. Ew, why is the bed still warm?

Something about a cold bed is more comforting than an uncomfortably warm reminder that you weren't the only naked person to lay here in the last 5 minutes.

3. If I started working here could I tan for free?

Wait. Paid to tan?

4. Why can't I see with these things on?

*Takes off goggles to look at iPhone*

5. How long have I been in here?

*Looks at time*

6. HOW has it only been a couple of minutes?

You know how they say times flies when you're having fun? Well, time takes freaking forever in a tanning bed.

7. Is it weird that I like the way my burning skin smells?

8. Can the woman at the desk can hear me talking to myself?

9. What would happen if there were cameras in here?

10. If I lay facing left for a minute then I'm going to have to lay facing right for a minute, right?

Tan symmetry.

11. Am I golden yet?

12. If I put my face closer to the bulbs will it tan faster?

13. How are my eyes sweating?

Nothing like tight goggles to give you the irreplaceable experience of sweaty eyelids.

14. Why is my butt is on fire?

Nothing like a burned booty to make you wish you had gone in the stand-up.

15. Who even invented Wink-Ease?

Eyewear for peasants.

16. Where's my phone? I must Snap.


17. Why do I have so many blemishes?

Something about the light makes it prime pimple-popping conditions. Weird.

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.
