Being thankful!

Source

As I walked around campus this afternoon I saw all the freshman by the dorms and the union making me a little nostalgic. I realized this was my last first day for a fall semester (at least until I get my Master's :) This makes me both a little sad and excited. I am in place I never thought I would get because it seemed like so many classes were ahead of me. Then I realized I maybe never would have had my dream and goal of attending and graduating college become a reality. Melanoma could have stole that from right under my feet. So as I dread having to study or get my projects done I have to remember and be so thankful for the gift I have been given. I may not have been able to graduate college if melanoma had taken my life. Hope everyone had a great first day of school!

Coffins

Pinterest

This picture showed up on my personal facebook newsfeed and I felt the need to share. I quite often refer to tanning beds as cancer coffins, but this picutre just makes it true.

Creepy!

I read an article today that was on MSN.com's home page about a tanning salon owner trying to spy on girls who are tanning at his salon. Click on the link if you would like to read the article yourself. This makes me wonder how often does this happen? When I used to go to tanning salons I never thought of this, but it may be a problem that is not talked about. My opinion is that people should not frequent the tanning salon at all, but as a client is important for your own safety to be aware of your surroundings.

A Little Reminder

I was browsing Pinterest this afternoon and came across this pin. I thought it was a quick reminder as the dog days of summer are quickly coming to a close of how to protect yourself along with some statistics.
