3. "You are so much whiter than I am"
4. "Are you Irish?"
5. "Are you German?"
6. "I can tell you're Irish and German"
7. "Do you need sunscreen?"
8. "Did you use sunscreen?"
9. "Why didn't you use sunscreen?"
10. "You did use sunscreen..."
11. "You look like a lobster"

12. "Do you need aloe?"
13. "How long were you outside?"
14. "I cannot believe you were only outside for an hour"

16. "Wait, You don't tan?!"
17. "Are you feeling okay?"
18. "You look pale"
19. "Can your new nickname be ghost?"
20. "You are as white as a ghost."
21. "Let's take a picture"
22. "The lights are too bright"
23. "Stand in the back, you're washing out the picture"
24. "You look so white compared to all of us"
25. "Do you like summer time?"
26. "Why don't you like the summer?"
27. "Is it because you burn so easily?"
28. "I can't believe you've burned while sitting in the car before"

29. "Can I borrow your foundation?"
30. "Oh, this foundation is too light for me"

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.

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.

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.
