Summer is here which is great. No more classes, less responsibility and the sun is almost always shining. But every pale girl knows it’s also the season with a large chance of sunburn. Don’t get me wrong I love my pale skin most of the time, but it can be a real struggle in the summer.

People's response when you tell them you can't get a good tan

When you've been out in the sun too long

When you forget to reapply sunscreen

When someone thinks you'll get a good tan but you know you'll still be pale

When someone asks why you always sit under the umbrella at the beach

When someone points out how pale you are

When someone says your pale skin is pretty and that you don't need a tan

When you've come to love and appreciate your pale skin
