6 Ways to survive the summer for pale girls
Personal Picture

You know it's definitely summer when you can't walk outside without feeling like you're going to melt. If you're like me and are extremely pale then you know it's summer when you walk outside and your skin feels like it is going to fry off. Your skin is literally so hot you feel like you could fry an egg on it. Well here is your survival guide for the summer; whether you're at the lake, pool, beach, or just sitting outside, I've got you covered.

1. Sunscreen

Whether it's spray or lotion, make it your new best friend. Sunscreen saves lives. It helps ensure you're not as red as a lobster or in excruciating pain for the next several days.

2. Sunglasses

Honestly I cannot live without sunglasses. The brightness kills my eyes. Also nobody likes putting sunscreen on their eyelids because it runs and burns in your eyes. So what better and more stylish way to protect your eyes.

3. Hats, hats, and more hats

Sun hat, ball cap, visor, cute hat, or any kind of hat works. Hats protect your head and if you're like me and have a big forehead that need protection these are your next best friend as well.

4. Lotion

Lotion replenishes your body. After I've had sunscreen on all day my body feels dry and gross. Lotion saves you no doubt.

5. Aloe Vera

This is for if you unfortunately get burnt to a crisp. We all do at one point or another because no matter how much sunscreen we use the sun always finds a way to burn us.

6. Coconut Oil

Yes, believe me this stuff works wonders. Coconut oil may honestly be better than aloe vera when it comes to being burnt. The coconut oil relieves the sting and hot of the sunburn.

Yes the summer is awesome, but it can be painful. Carry these seven things when traveling, or just have them put somewhere at home and you'll be set for all summer. Don't let the fear of burning keep you inside all summer.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
