The Sun, my best frienemy

The sun doesn’t just provide warmth for us.

We all love the sun, even though we all have our different reasons. Without it, we wouldn’t be here. That being said, the sun is still at a constant war with my skin, and it’s a pretty one sided one at that. Even with my ally, sunscreen, I usually lose the battles. Whenever I do something outside with my friends, there is always a 5 min. delay before I can start. (at the pool) “Hey are you gonna get in?” “Wait, I gotta put some sunscreen on” (5 minutes later) “Are you done yet?” “Finishing up, did you put sunscreen on?” “Just a bit on my shoulders” After we leave the pool, my friend is slightly tanner than before, and I am as red as a tomato. I don’t appreciate how my friend can get away with almost none, and I am stuck applying over and over.  But it’s a small price to pay for a fun day at the pool.
