A Love Letter To My Chaco Tan Lines

Fifty shades of tan.

A Love Letter To My Chaco Tan Lines
Eden Garrett

Dear Chaco tan lines,

Where have you been all my life? What would I do without a constant reminder of last summer? You are always there for me, and never go away. I really appreciate that.

Every day during the summer while lifeguarding at the pool, what did I do? No, I did not save lives, I worked on my amazing tan line. The competition of who had the best tan line was on, do you know who won? Of course I did. By the end of the summer, we all have the perfect shade of tan and bright white. You glisten in the daylight and bring the whole world happiness.

Nothing compares to you. You are a symbol of hope, love, strength, and freedom. You are stylish and everyone knows that you were expensive to create and I am so proud of you. You are not only proof that I can get extremely tan but that I was really pale during the winter. You also show that I can get 28 shades darker in only two months.

While I love you dearly, sometimes you're inconvenient. When I want to wear other shoes, you always seen to poke through. While during an interview, the interviewer stops and asks about you. While I love you, you are not professional but still adorable so I forgive you.

You are a great topic to talk about, you stand out and makes others notice. You get compliments all the time and I am so proud that you are a part of me. It makes me 100 times cooler when people see you. It makes my day when random strangers say how much they love you, and I do too.

Tan lines, you were there for me all summer, through the winter, and still here while I am getting ready for summer again. Thank you for being there for me though the good times and bad, you are a friend that never goes away and I am forever grateful.

Xoxo,

Dark & Gorgeous

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
