If you grew up in a beach town, you definitely had the best childhood. Don't think so? Read the signs below and you'll be running back to the shore before I can scream, "Bennys go home!".

1. You bragged about how the beach is basically your backyard.

2. On a warm day in the spring, you and you friends grabbed Dunkin' Donuts and went straight to the beach after school.

3. While the offseason is quiet, you know that the summer is the complete opposite.


You couldn't figure out how there were more cars than people

4. "Bennys go home" is an all too familiar phrase.


5. Flip flops were an essential part of your wardrobe.

You were always the first in line for Old Navy's $1 flip flop sale.

6. The last day of school initiated a competition of who could get to the shore the fastest.

7. Summer days were spent biking to the beachfront with ice cream in hand.

8. You were always prepared for hurricane season.

Flashlights, batteries, bread, and of course the paddle boat for when the streets flood. You had to have some sort of fun!

9. You've tried working out on the beach.

You realized that sneakers and sand don't like to mix.

10. You made it a mission at least once to see the sunrise from the beach.

The Insta picture may have not come out as great as you wanted, but the view was worth waking up before 5.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
