The 11 Signs That You're The Pale Friend
Chelsey Eatmon

There's always one pale friend, and if any of these relate to you, chances are, you are that friend.

1. Your friends have to put a filter on the Instagram picture of you guys and you STILL look pasty in them.

"Girl, you're just going to have to get over the fact that you'll forever look like a ghost."

2. "Are you Irish?"

Whether I am or not, that isn't the majority of the reason I am pale...but maybe it is.

3. "Hang on guys, I forgot my sunscreen."

If you can't find the SPF 50, you're not going.

4. "Did you remember your sunscreen? You're starting to look red..."

This is probably the most annoying question we get asked when we're out in the sun.

5. You can NEVER borrow anyone else's makeup.

They might as well make a shade called "Casper, the Friendly Ghost."

6. Don't use the flash! It'll make me look whiter than I already am!

7. Don't forget a hat before going anywhere in the sun!

Just grab that visor your mom used once when she went golfing - you'll be set.

8. You didn't think it was possible, but you actually look even pastier in the winter.

Thanks, snow - you're really killing our vibe here.

9. When you actually do get some color to you (not red), it seems to disappear once you shower.

10. Why don't you try a spray tan?

Because we could end up like Ross in that one episode of "Friends," that's why.

11. But all in all, you know that you're excessive white-ness just makes you more...you.

Express it, because you won't miraculously become tan any time soon.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
