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

Giphy

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'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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
