11 Struggles You Experience At The Lake

The whole truth, bugs, sunburns, and all.

The lake, it's your favorite place to go during the summer and all your best childhood memories take place on or near the water. You're a self-proclaimed lake rat and you wouldn't have it any other way, BUT you must admit that there are some things you could do without...

1. Sticky fingers after eating s'mores.

Look at all that gooey goodness. Emphasis on the gooey.

2. Getting sunburnt.

It doesn't matter how much sunscreen you put on, the sun will find its way through.

3. Jumping into freezing cold water just because you have to pee.

You can't wade in, you just have to jump.

4. Awkward tan lines from that swimsuit you thought was so cute.

Mesh, lace, and crossing straps all looked really cute in the dressing room.

5. Lack of wifi or slow internet.

How will the people know how much fun I'm having here?

6. The sun zapping all your energy.

Rolling up to the dinner table, like "It feels like midnight".

7. Fighting the crowds to shop at the outlet mall.

Does that sign say 70% off?!

8. Having to share a room or bed with your sibling.

This is your half and this is my half, stay on YOUR side.

9. Bug bites, everywhere.

Dang, how did a bug get up there without me noticing?

10. It's hot.

At least this means I don't have to put on makeup or do my hair.

11. Hitting a big wave and getting splashed.

Bonus points if whoever is driving the boat aims to shock you.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

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.

pale girl

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.
