There are some people who tan by just sitting outside for an hour. Some people never need to touch sun screen a day in their life. Some people just have the perfect skin tone that will never burn, peel, or crack. Lucky them, am I right?

If you get sunburnt frequently, then your life during the summer is probably just a little bit more of a struggle than other peoples. You feel the pain, literally and figuratively, every single time the sun comes out.

If you're one of these people, these 15 truths of being prone to sunburn will accurately describe your summer struggles:

1. You never go anywhere without your sunscreen.

2. You can literally feel yourself burning as soon as you step into the sun.

3. You've experienced 1st and maybe even 2nd-degree sunburns in your life so far.

4. If you forget sunscreen, you're out of luck unless miraculously you're with someone else who burns too.

5. You're the mom friend when it comes to sunscreen, and encourage your friends to wear it often.

6. You've learned from experience that you must rub sunscreen in to avoid strange burns.

7. You've definitely heard someone say, 'You should really get that checked out,' in reference to your peeling sunburn.

8. Some days you lather up your sunscreen and it's still not enough to save you.

9. You know how awful it is to shower or even do simple tasks after you get a sunburn.

10. You don't tan, you get slightly less pale.

11. You're sick of how expensive sunscreen is because you have to buy at least 3 bottles every beach trip.

12. You can't go swimming by yourself because someone has to get your back for you.

13. Lol, and tanning oil? In your dreams.

14. You're at a much higher risk of getting skin cancer and it's a tad frightening.

15. No matter how prone you are to getting sunburnt, you still try to go without sunscreen once each summer in hopes of getting some color.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
