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."

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.
