Can I sign your cast?
By Isabelle Orr, Entertainment Editor
Ouch! With all the wholesome summer activities out there like biking, beaching, and drinking a six-pack of canned vodka sodas in the park alone at 11 pm, itâs inevitable that youâll sustain some kind of injury before the season is out. Like all things during the summer, the sun makes injuries and bedrest seem so much more fun, vibrant, and romantic than if you had to deal with them during the winter! Take this quiz to make sure you pick the right injury for you and be sure to shoot me a text once youâve spent three consecutive weeks in bed and your standards are severely lowered đ

Mostly âAâs: Summer cold
What is it about summer colds that make them so much worse than winter colds? While all of your friends are out having a good time, youâll be stuck inside like a loser watching Gilmore Girls on a loop. Youâll look for sympathy, but no one will care about your boring ass while you waste away. Sorry about it!
Mostly âBâs: Sprained ankle
An extra-annoying injury, sprained ankles get all the fun of being sore yet without the visible signs of injury so everyone around you thinks youâre just being a big baby. You donât even get, like, a crutch or anything. While you hobble around clumsily, you can be secure in your knowledge that you look dumb as hell.
Mostly âCâs: Broken wrist
For some reason, I remember being very attracted to people with casts in elementary school. Why? Maybe because they seemed like badass risk-takers, or maybe I have an unearthed mummy fetish. Either way, your injury could pass as a cool fashion accessory if you accessorize well, and itâs severe enough to score you a couple of weeks off work. Enjoy!
Mostly âDâs: Head-to-toe sunburn
Wow, thatâs⊠commitment? Forget tan lines, you should just be worried about the state of your remaining skin once the burn heals up. Once September hits, youâll be able to shed your withered skin like a snake and slide like a fresh newborn back into the ocean waves from whence you came. See you in 2020!
