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.

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.

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.
