Things that Happen When You Sunburn for the First Time in Your Life

Learn from my mistakes. Use sunscreen

Things that Happen When You Sunburn for the First Time in Your Life

When you get a wake up text saying "let's go to the lake/ocean/water park!"

You decide if you wanna go or not and finally decide that you do.

You throw your swimsuit on and roll out.

You show up with your crew, feeling fierce as always.

You lay out your towels and get all settled in when your friend starts slathering on sunscreen.

Then she looks at you and says "you should really wear sunscreen." You just laugh.

You go about your day, enjoying the sunshine and ice cold water. You don't have a care in the world.

Meanwhile, your friend is giving you side eye for not protecting your skin from the harsh rays.

After hours of endless fun you leave and feel fine until the next day, when you wake up looking like this.

And screaming like this. (The heat of a thousand suns is resting on your entire body so this seems like an appropriate response.)



When you see your friend later on she looks a little like this.

But as the day goes on the inflammation goes away and the peeling stops. Suddenly your previous burn becomes a glorious tan and you high five yourself. Nice try sun, not this time.

But then you make a quick Target run to buy sunscreen (and everything else in the store) because sunscreen (and Target) aren't a joke.

Sun: 1. You: 1. Maybe one day you and the sun will be friends.

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.
