It is finally summertime. The days are getting longer and the sun is getting hotter. What better way to spend your summer days than enjoying the beautiful summer weather? Unfortunately for you, facing that summer sun can be a struggle. Here are some things that only people with pale skin have to deal with in the warm summer heat.

Planning to spend your summertime lounging and relaxing by the poolside in the sun...

The sweet smell of summertime is finally here. You have already made it a goal to get that nice summer glow. Your days are going to consist of laying outside hoping for that crisp summer tan.

The result of those people that can actually get tan...

We all know those people that spend one day laying out in the sun and they instantly turn into beach babes.

What happens when you spend your day in the sun...

You, on the other hand, are not like your fortunate friends. You turn to burnt toast out there. After your day in the sun is a failure you have to undergo the unbearable consequences. Your body aches in pain with every slight movement you make.

"Well, I was just hoping that I wouldn't burn to death."

When you knew the odds were not going to be so ever in your favor but you still went outside anyways. What brave souls we are.


Even when you lather up with sunscreen, you still burn.

Sunscreen is a joke. No matter how much you put on or how often you apply it, you somehow still manage to look like a lobster after being outside. You might as well just eat sunscreen. Maybe that would be help!

The aftermath of sunburn...

Applying that aloe and relief lotion..is it even worth it? Not only do you not want people to look at your tomato skin but for God sake, don't even think about touching it.

When you think having pale skin couldn't get any worse...it gets worse...


You might as well just show off those awful marks. Embrace them! Be proud!

Those embarrassing burn lines....

The farmer's tan is my personal favorite when you have burnt skin on the arms and pasty white T-shirt lines. That's something to be proud of!

To all my fellow pale skinned human beings, there is nothing we can possibly do to prevent such an epidemic in this summertime heat. Therefore, we must embrace it! So lather up, cover your self in clothing, wear your hats and sunglasses. Even though you may not get that beach babe look you were hoping for, go out and relax and enjoy the sweet summertime!

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.

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.
