Wear Sunscreen, Y'all

Suns out, buns out. Don't let them get burned!

With the incoming of Spring comes rising temperatures and sunny weather. For many, this is one of the best times of the year; seasonal depression starts to dissolve, more time is spent outdoors, and, once school is over, many people feel like they don't have a care in the world.

Start caring, bitch! Your skin is on the line!

If you're like me, you absolutely do not wear sunscreen every day. Maybe it's because you're forgetful, maybe it's because you don't burn easily, or maybe it's because you genuinely don't see a reason to wear it.

Believe it or not, protecting your skin from that orb of hot gas and solar rays is extremely important! Not only does it protect you from short term consequences like sunburns, but it also protects you from getting premature wrinkles, skin cancer, and other health issues that may come about later in life.

It's so worth it to wear sunscreen every day, and I'm trying to get into the habit of doing so. Easy ways to incorporate SPF into your daily life is replacing some products you already have with ones that are better for your skin.

For example, finding body or face lotion with SPF in it is so easy and helpful! If you're someone that showers in the mornings, having lotion with SPF included allows you to put on sunscreen at the same time you're putting on lotion, so there are no extra steps. For people who wear makeup daily, finding a foundation or lipstick that can protect your skin is a no brainer. Of course, the best course of action is to put on actual sunscreen, but this is a good place to start.

Now, you might be thinking "yeah, I know, I should wear sunscreen… but, it's really not that big of a deal, right?"

WRONG.

Every unprotected exposure to the sun accumulates into a large amount of damage!

When you go out without sunscreen, it can do damage to your body, even if you don't get a sunburn. Over time, this damage builds up and can lead to all sorts of nasty things. Many of these things cannot be reversed by adding SPF into your daily life, so you must do it before the damage occurs. If you're not wearing sunscreen, put some on now! By throwing a small, travel-sized tube in your purse, backpack, car, or pocket, you're able to be protected wherever you go. Stay safe!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
