Hot Girl Summer Things That Are Actually Hot Girl Bummers

• Hair Removal

  As much as we love feeling like silky smooth naked mole rats, it takes a helluva lot of effort to get rid of body hair for summer. Sometimes we think we'd rather stay nice and cozy in our wooly winter coats AKA our body hair at its peak.

• Sweating Profusely

  How TF are we supposed to stay sexy if we're sweating balls all the time? Hot girl summer is essentially a Catch-22 because, on the one hand, you can't have hot girl summer without the sun, but on the other hand, the sun is the cause of all our sweaty misery. We look gross, we smell gross, and we feel gross. There's no winning here.

• Severe Suburns

  We stick to a very serious skincare routine throughout the year. As a result, our skin is very pampered and delicate. Obvi, we put on sunscreen everyday like our good ol' derm recommends, but our skin is so sensitive to the harsh sun's rays that sometimes it's not enough coverage. Suddenly, we wake up to the rude awakening of looking like an Oompa Loompa. Petition to make Oompa Loompa summer a thing.

• Watered-down Drinks

  Cocktails on a rooftop bar sound like a cool idea in theory, but the ice cubes always melt faster than we can down the cocktail. Suddenly, the vodka sours we were so hype for have turned into flavorless, watered-down puddles. Summer can be such a b*tch.

• The Need To Always Stay Hydrated

  Speaking of drinks, water is all the rage during summertime. We know we're supposed to be staying hydrated every season, but not drinking water during the summer is like you're asking to go straight to the ER with severe dehydration. Hot girls have too much on their plate for that kind of pressure. Drinking water is another errand to add to our busy social schedules.

• Sunny, Sweaty Hangovers

  Hangovers are already the worst. If you have one too many watered-down cocktails on a work night, you'll be nauseous AF as you haul ass to work on your crowded commute under the beating sun the next day. Yuck. So drink responsibly on those hot summer nights.

• Return of the Bugs from the Underworld

  F*ckboys aren't the only pests you have to deal with during the summer season. All types of bugs are out in full swing to personally victimize you. They've been hiding and chilling out during the colder months, so their energy is at an all-time high. Get ready for the ultimate battle.

• Sand In Every Crevice Possible

  Every time you go to the beach, plenty of sand will come back with you. No matter how much you try to shake it off, it'll stick to you and every surface you come into contact with. Might as well get your tan on at the pool instead. Alas, the Insta pics at the pool just don't do you justice as much as the beach ones. Tough call tbh.

• Dealing With Summer Fling Bullshit

  A staple of hot girl summer is an easy, breezy beautiful hookup, but how "easy, breezy" is this hookup in reality? Probably not as carefree as you'd imagined it to be. Like, what if he catches feelings like a total psycho? Or worse - you're the one that catches feelings?! Ew, no thank you! You're not sure if that's a risk you're willing to take. But you'll still take it because it's hot girl summer - duh.

• Unnecessary FOMO

  Especially after the year we've had, everyone's gonna be out and about doing everything and anything. You're gonna get a bunch of invites, and there's no way you're going to want to be at every single one of them. But what if something happens that causes everything to shut down one more and you'll never see the light of day again?! This irrational anxiety will drive you to every single event at every hour, to the point where you're completely sleep-deprived and you definitely don't look as hot as you did when the summer first started. Take it from us - nothing in this world is worth missing your precious beauty sleep.
