10 Summer Situations Almost All Girls Can Relate To

The joyous hot summer weather brings about a specific set of challenges that every girl must over come. Here's a few of mine.

1. The Reverse Mustache

Have you ever put fake tan, or even bronzer, all over your body and face on a hot day in an attempt to get that summer goddess glow? Well if you have, you'll know come night time there will be a small white strip on your upper lip where the dark pigment has sweated off throughout the day, leaving the dreaded reverse mustache.

2. Underarms Puddles

This one again has to do with sweating (eww). The perfect mix of cotton fabric and the summer heat leaves your shirt with a nice dark ring of moisture around your underarms. #TeamNoSleeveSummer

3. Uneven Tans

Am I the only person who forgets to flip when they're at the beach tanning? It just never occurs to me, so I always end up with one side of my body being four shades darker than the other.

4. Pedicure Problems

It might just be because I'm constantly in the water at the beach or pool, but my pedicures never last in the summer. After less than just two weeks they start chipping and my skin starts peeling, which is not the move when I wanna be wearing cute sandals all the time.

5. Summer Flings

They never last, but it's fun during the months where the sun doesn't set until nine. Then they end and become a simple memory.

6. No Nude Bras

I love wearing fun colored bras, and sometimes I don't mind when they are peeking through my clothing, but in the summer I wear so many light colored shirts that my two nude bras can't keep up with my wardrobe choices. Inevitably, when my sensible bras are in the wash, I'll attempt to pair a dark red bra with light pink shirt hoping that no one will notice the difference. They notice.

7. Pink Cheeks

Maybe it's just my facial structure, but somehow I always manage to burn my cheeks no matter how much sunscreen I slather on.

8. Bye Bye Hair Tie

For some reason, I'm always running low on hair ties in the summer. Either they break super easily, or they fall out of my hair while swimming without me realizing. Either way, I'm left with a naked wrist and a burning hot neck.

9. Booty Shorts Verses Hot Car Seats

There is no worse experience than feeling super cute in your short shorts, only to have your thighs slightly seared the moment you sit down in your car.

10. Chapped Lips Pits

I go to extremes to prevent this from happening by using only medicated lip balm and reapplying almost every other hour, but I wouldn't wish chapped lips (especially when you're kissing someone) on anyone.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
