10 Weird Sunburns Everybody Has At Least Once

No matter how hard you try, they're bound to happen.

No matter who you are, you've probably had a sunburn before. No matter how many times you reapply sunscreen or how short of a time you spend in the sun, a sunburn is bound to occur at least once.

Sometimes you'll burn evenly- like when you forget to apply sunscreen on your shoulders- and sometimes your skin may end up with random patches of sunburn from missing a couple of spots. Weird sunburns happen. Here are some everyone probably experiences at one point in their life.

1. Sunburn on just your nose

Sometimes we forget to put sunscreen on our noses and end up looking like Rudolph for a few days. Too bad it's not Christmastime.

2. Sunburn on your scalp

Although it's not necessarily weird, it is a place you wouldn't think to sunscreen. Throwing on a hat will help prevent having a sunburned scalp that will be painful and peeling shortly after.

3. Sunburn on the tops of your feet


Yeah, putting on shoes will be pretty painful after burning your feet.

4. Sunburn on your bellybutton

I didn't think this was possible until I looked in the mirror this morning.

5. Handprint sunburn

Unfortunately, it's not just something that happens in movies.

6. A sunburn outlining body paint/a temporary tattoo

I once had a friend that had a "PTV" sunburn (for the band Pierce the Veil) on her chest the day before she left for vacation in England. You can bet she got asked a lot of questions.

7. A sunburn on just your hairline

Not wanting to get sunscreen in your hair, you put it just below your hairline. Little do you know, you've just made a terrible mistake and will be walking around with a red strip of forehead skin.

8. A splotchy sunburn in all of the places you missed a spot

Having spots of red on one leg, a foot, a shoulder, half of your chest and an arm just isn't the look you were going for.

9. A sunburn on half of your body or face


Try not to sit out in the sun with it only shining on half of your face for too long (or just put on sunscreen beforehand).

10. A full-body sunburn

Yup. That has to be the worst kind of sunburn.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
