Have you ever packed a long sleeve shirt to go to the beach? Do you have not one but multiple sun burn horror stories? Congratulations! You're pale AF. Whether you've recently accepted your paleness or you've been channeling Amy Lee all along, you'll know that summer is a painful time for us...

1. You're the same color in August that you were in December

No, I don't just live in the library. The sun is just mean to me.

2. You feel this on a personal level

I'm just over here, minding my own invisible business.


3. Every time you go to Target, you come home with a new bronzer

Constantly chasing that "healthy glow."


4. You know exactly how long you can be outside before you become a lobster

2 hours, 3 minutes, 7 seconds.


5. You get a lot of questions about your health

I'M NOT SICK, AUNT JUDITH. WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS.

6. Once upon a time you saw these and were immediately full of unrealistic expectations

TBH you turned orange and streaky.

7. Finding a new sunscreen is cause for celebration

Non-greasy and it doesn't clog my pores?! YAASSS

8. You can rock a tan line like nobody else

You don't choose the pale life, the pale life chooses you.

9. Every outfit includes a hat

You and this grandma have a lot in common.

10. You've had to come to terms with your status as a pale princess

But, hey, unicorns are pale too. And they're f@#$% badass.

Embrace your inner unicorn.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
