11 Things You Know If You Get Sunburnt Easily
Jeremy Tarling

It's summertime again! For some, that means going out and getting a nice tan. This article isn't for you. It's for the people who hate you a little bit because all we do is burn. The people that really know the lily-white struggle.

1. You either look like a piece of paper or a lobster

There is no in between. There is no nice tan that you see others sporting in the summer.

2. Nice white sundress? Nope

You think it'll look good. But where does your skin end and your dress start? You may never know.

3. You should own stock in sunscreen

When it comes to summer, you have at least three bottles at all times. In your car, your purse, your pool bag...

4. Reapplication is your friend

Personally, I set a timer on my phone so I don't forget to reapply. Everyone knows that if you apply just once, you're definitely going to get burned.

5. So is aloe vera

No matter how often you reapply. Sometimes, you will get burned.

6. Not all sunscreen is created equal

You mean you want me to use the rub sunscreen on my face? With all that oil in it? Nope.

7. You can't borrow sunscreen

Thank you, friend, for offering your SPF 15 sunscreen. But my SPF 100 is needed.

8. It's not just summer

People think that summer is the only time you can get a sunburn. They challenge your paleness.

9. Naked is the only way to be post-sunburn

You may have just a sheet over you, but it will still burn everywhere the sheet touches.

10. Even sunburn? No way

You will never burn evenly all the way around. You will always end up with weird markings for some reason.

11. When there's not any sun

And you know best of all that even when it's cloudy outside, you can still easily get burned.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
