5 Tan Lines You Will Definitely Get At Band Camp
Matthew McCurry

When at band camp, make sure to put on sunscreen, lest you end up like these poor folks!

1. Sunglasses or glasses tan line

Caitlin White

Wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun can leave you with "raccoon stripes" on your face.

2. Watch tan line

Caitlin White

When does rehearsal start? You won't know unless you wear a watch! Everyone needs a stripe and a circle on their arm, duh.

3. Shorts tan line

Caitlin White

A lot of people march in athletic shorts. Sometimes when you don't do laundry and have to borrow your girlfriend's shorts, you can end up with blindingly pale thighs shown off to the whole band.

4. Sports bra tan line

Caitlin White

Band camp happens in August and the practice field is a large pavement area. It gets really hot! Many girls take off their shirts and just march in their sports bras, resulting in razorback tan lines.

5. T-shirt tan line

For those that don't like to take off their shirts while they march, it is very obvious when they wear a tank top the next day. They've got a goofy farmer's tan!

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
