20 Reasons To Not Go Outside

Not today, Satan.

20 Reasons To Not Go Outside

In case you haven't checked the weather or have been lucky enough to not step outside lately, it's hot out there. And I don't mean, "Oh it's a little warm out today," kind of hot. I mean triple digit, buckets of sweat, hair ruining humidity, get a burn just thinking about the sun kind of hot. This is the weather I have nightmares about. I truly believe I will melt into a giant puddle of sadness and sweat, and believe me, no one wants to clean that up. I know, I know, some people actually like this kind of suffocating, blistering heat, but I am not here for it. I would gladly take frostbite over heat stroke. I want winter and snow and hot chocolate. I want to be bundled up. So that's what I will do. In my air conditioning.

1. I'm allergic to the sun.

2. If it's too hot for Satan, it's too hot for me.

3. I'd rather watch Netflix than melt into a puddle, thank you very much.

4. My makeup looks flawless today and my setting spray cannot handle the amount of sweat that will pour out of my face. Sorry.

5. Pools are like 90 percent pee.

6. I would literally drown in my own sweat if I left the safety of my air conditioning.

7. My mom says I can't go outside ever again.

8. Beaches sound great until you're sunburnt and dehydrated.

9. There is no amount of sunscreen to protect me because it feels like we're being fried by the sun and I will turn into crispy, burnt bacon.

10. I was not built for this kind of heat. My body absolutely does not have the strength to endure this.

11. I also don't have the willpower. I can barely walk to my car without thinking I'm crossing the Sahara. I will lay down. I will give up. And I will die right there on my driveway.

12. The poof ball of humidity and frizz that will overtake me hair won't be pretty. I'm doing the world a favor, trust me.

13. We're paying for air conditioning. Might as well use it.

14. I'm really not about to torture myself. Not into that.

15. I already drink a gallon of water a day. That doesn't seem like enough anymore!

16. What do you want from me weather? My first born?

17. I will complain, I will whine, and I would cry but there wouldn't be enough fluid left in my body to produce tears.

18. If I can cook food on the sidewalk or in my car, then the outside is actually an oven and I'm not about to be Hansel and Gretel.

19. It's too hot.

20. Seriously, it is too hot. I'm never leaving air conditioning again.

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.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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.

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.
