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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
