Summer is upon us and that means everyone is freaking out about their tans. Being as fair skinned as you are, you aren't participating. Here are 8 things you know if you're pale and proud!

1. You save so much money on spray tans.

In fact, you save 100% on spray tans because you don’t get them! While everyone is freaking out that they need to get tan for that big event coming up, you’re chillaxing (in the shade).

2. You wear whites, nudes, and pinks even though society tells you not to.

Who made these rules that if your skin is a certain color you’re restricted to one section of the color wheel? I’m gonna wear a white shirt, and you’re gonna do a double take thinking I’m topless, and we’re all just gonna go about our days.

3. You save so much time at makeup stores.

Easy, you just go immediately to the lightest shade of everything and call it a day. While your friends are doing color swatches of God knows what and comparing shades to their skin, you’re already checked out and ready for the next store.

4. No one ever tries to steal your sunscreen or ask to borrow it.

Because you get SPF 56123549. Not today, skin cancer!!!

5. Your cheeks are always a cute rosy color.

Mainly because you get a sunburn in the winter, but hey, you rock it!

6. When you’re faking sick people believe you because you’re pale.

Which came in handy in middle school when you wanted to go home before your presentation in the next class so you told your teacher you didn’t feel good and she responded with, "Oh honey, your face is going pale let me write you a pass."

7. You get outdoor spaces all to yourself because you reflect the sun.

Well, when you do go outside anyway. The blinding way the sun reflects your skin is a borderline hazard to those around you, so more room for you!

8. You realize that skin is just a color and it literally does not matter what color that is.

Really. No matter the season. You don’t get why people care so much about getting tan in the summer and freak out when that tan goes away in the winter. It’s literally flesh that covers your insides. We all have it.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
