13 Feels You Have After Getting Sunburned, As Told By 'SpongeBob SquarePants'

I need water. NOW.

If you've ever been sunburned, you know there are a number of feelings that go along with being lobster red.

At first, you're in shock and may even shed a few tears. Then you suffer through the burning, itching and discomfort that lasts for days. And let's not forget about the awful and disgusting skin peeling that happens when the burn finally fades.

If you're lucky, your burn turns to tan and becomes golden.

What better person to express all of the mixed emotions associated with being sunburned than SpongeBob SquarePants? After all, he's had a few painful burns himself (cringe).

Even if you've only been sunburned once in your entire life, you can totally relate these feels (and of course, to SpongeBob).

1. What have I done?

Giphy

Oh, no. Not again. I am red all over. It's a sunburn.

2. It wasn’t enough sunscreen. It's never enough.

Giphy

I never put on enough sunscreen. NEVER.

3. My skin. Look at my skin!

Giphy

My poor skin. It's so red. Do you see it?

4. I am now Larry the Lobster.

Giphy

I am now Larry the Lobster. You can call me Larry (or lobster girl).

5. Don’t look at me. Oh, the shame.

Giphy

Stop staring. I know it's bad. I know.

6. IT BURNS. MY EVERYTHING BURNS.

Giphy

Every inch of me burns. It hurts. It burns.

7. Give me ice, water and aloe. I need relief.

Giphy

Make it stop. I need something cold.

8. Maybe if I stay very still, it won’t burn.

Giphy

If I lie perfectly still, I won't notice how badly it burns.

9. I am lying on a bed of fire. Help me.

Giphy

There's no use. I am on fire. This girl is on fire.

10. I just want to rip my skin off.

Giphy

Can I just shed this skin and start over?

11. Why did I have to go outside? I should have stayed inside.

Giphy

This would never have happened if I had just stayed inside on the couch and watched TV all day. BIG MISTAKE.

12. I blame the sun.

Giphy

How dare you do this to me? Why? Why me?

13. I wonder if this burn will turn into a tan…

Giphy

I better be tan after this. Look at me. I will be tan soon. Happy dance.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
