What Summer Tan Lines Say About You

Summer is here. Tan time is now.

The smiley face on your stomach

I’m goofy. I don't really care about whether this smily face is smudged or not. I’m super proud of the fact that I even got a tan line in the first place. Let me be happy about the actual difference in skin color you can specifically see on my stomach.

The Chaco straps on your foot

I’m outdoorsy - or at least I want you to think so. I probably own an eno and am usually the one in the group wearing my chaco while doing almost anything outside. I worked hard for this and you best believe I'm going to casually draw your attention to my feet whenever possible.

The triangle bikini on your chest

I probably got a real bad sunburn at one point. No one goes out in the sun with a triangle top and wants that tan line. This will most likely peel in the next couple days if it hasn't already.

The athletic tank on your back

I run. Even if I try to make this tan line go away, it won't.

Any flash-tat remnants

I really like feeling sparkly without the added risk of wearing actual jewelry. I might want to also pretend that I have the balls to get a tattoo but truly don't want that ish forever.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
