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 know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.

1. I'm so tired. I need a nap. Maybe I can sleep with my eyes open in class? Or pretend I'm not napping?

2. We have a test today? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did I know this?!

3. Can I quit school yet? It's only October, and I need a vacation.

4. The struggle is so real.

5. I'm so broke. SOS.

6. Stressed? Eat everything you own in your pantry and stuff your face with all your feelings.

7. "Did we have anything due in class today? Homework? Quiz? Test?" "Not that I know of..."

8. I need food. Where is the closest place to get food? I need it stat.

9. This is the longest day of my life. I need a drink, or two, or three.

10. Sleep? What is sleep? What a foreign concept.

11. When someone suggests going and studying in the library, let alone studying in general.

12. When the cafeteria or student center is packed and you can't find a seat anywhere so you literally have to sit in an abandoned corner.

13. When you see someone you used to hook up with. They see you, and approach you; so you have to pretend like everything is normal.

14. When you get your exam and realize you didn't study as much as you should have.

15. When you crush it on an exam or paper that you totally bullshitted.

16. I need a grande, extra strong coffee to get me through today.

17. When the professor announces you have a project due the following week with no instruction on what it's on and how to do it.

18. Is it Friday yet? Where's the weekend when you need it most?

19. It's freezing in here. I feel like I'm sitting in an igloo. I should have brought a jacket or worn long pants.

20. Did I remember my book? Damn, I forgot the book, and of course I need it for that quiz in class.

21. I would pay a million dollars to not go to class today; or actually never again.

22. I need a hoverboard to ride to class. Maybe then I wouldn't be running 15 minutes late to class every day.

23. Oh she/he's cute! I wonder if they're single. Who are they texting? They're BF/GF? I wonder if they think I'm cute. Could they be a potential new bae?

24. Why is there never any parking? I pay thousands of dollars a year for one parking spot to be open.

25. When it feels like you've been in class for an hour and you look at your phone and it has only been five minutes (I'm crying on the inside).

26. When the professor asks if there are any more questions at the end of class and someone raises their hand.

27. When you get assigned the most incompetent group of people possible for a group project.

28. I need a comfort dog so I can avoid all life and school responsibilities.

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

Who isn't stressing out over finals right now?

'tis the season to be jolly!

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Phase One: The “I got this” phase

Phase Two: The “I have time” phase

Phase Three: The uncontrollable sobbing phase

Phase Four: The “help me, I've fallen and I can't get up” phase

Phase Five: The rejoicing phase
