Summer is full of fun things but if you are anything like me the sun can get in the way. Being pale leads to endless sunburn that seems to be unpreventable. But not only is being pale a problem in the summer but all year. Here are just some issues that us pale people go through.

1. Not being able to wear white because you'll look naked.

2. Not being able to wear red lipstick because you'll look like a vampire...

3. ... Also not wearing all black because you'll look like a vampire again.

4. Then if you were dark lipstick you look like you just came back from the dead.

5. Never finding a foundation that won't make you look orange.

6. Then when you don't wear makeup everyone thinks you're sick.

7. being in the sun for 15 minutes and turning into a lobster.

8. Picking between 30 different sunblocks but none of them actually work.

9. Trying to figure out what SPF even means and if you need SPF 50...

10. ... Then having to reapply it 20 minutes later to be safe.

11. Getting sun blisters and having coat your body in aloe.

12. Finally being tan just to have it peel and then you're back to your pale self.

13. Having your tan friends compare their tan to yours because it's "funny."

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.
