5 Reasons People Who Hate The Beach Would Rather Stay Home During Spring Break

This may come as a shock, but there are some people out there.

Yes, shockingly there are people out there that don't like the beach. I know this may come as the biggest surprise you have heard since Angelina and Brad Pitt getting a divorce, but these people exist. As a fair skinned, redhead there are obvious signs why the beach and I have as I would like to call it a "Love/Hate Relationship". To my bronze goddess skinned friends, this opposition may be hard for you to wrap your head around. Here are some reasons why people don't LOVE the beach.

1. SUNBURNS


If you are the person that can't leave the house without SPF 75 you definitely feel a major connection with this reasoning. Yes, the beach is great at the moment, but when you're taking a bath in aloe that night your relationship with the beach maybe as Ross from Friends so eloquently puts it "ON A BREAK!'

2. Sand... Everywhere


The moment that your toes meet the white smooth sand, it is the next best thing to walking on a cloud. Yet at the end of a sunny day, you feel like you're covered from head to toe in sand. It's in your bags, shoes, car, ears, nails, mouth, etc. Sand can be found everywhere for what seems like weeks. The worst feeling is when a gust of wind comes blowing through and you get a whole mouth load filled with, you guessed it, SAND.

3. Seagulls


In the movie Finding Nemo, the legendary scene that we all couldn't get enough of as kids was the "mine, Mine, MINE" part where the flock of seagulls are all coming. The annoying creatures are swarming all around you at the beach. Their squawks at high-frequency pitches do not make the experience more worthwhile either. As the Seagulls fly around all you can do is pray that one of them doesn't decide to take a poop right above your head.

4. Salt Water


The Ocean is so beautiful to admire from afar and take in all the beauty it has to offer. Swimming in salt water is a different story within itself. When you swim in the ocean if you open your eyes underwater, they will burn from the salt. Then when you exit the salty water, your whole body is covered from head to toe in crimpy salt.

5. Sea Animals


Jellyfish, sharks, crabs, and seaweed all sea animals that many people have a legitimately large fear or disdain of. This can make the non-beach people steer farther away from the beach then they already try to do. It can cause them to not want to walk along the beach or get in the water. This causes the whole day at the beach to be a "bust."

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
