Have you ever packed a long sleeve shirt to go to the beach? Do you have not one but multiple sun burn horror stories? Congratulations! You're pale AF. Whether you've recently accepted your paleness or you've been channeling Amy Lee all along, you'll know that summer is a painful time for us...

1. You're the same color in August that you were in December

No, I don't just live in the library. The sun is just mean to me.

2. You feel this on a personal level

I'm just over here, minding my own invisible business.


3. Every time you go to Target, you come home with a new bronzer

Constantly chasing that "healthy glow."


4. You know exactly how long you can be outside before you become a lobster

2 hours, 3 minutes, 7 seconds.


5. You get a lot of questions about your health

I'M NOT SICK, AUNT JUDITH. WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS.

6. Once upon a time you saw these and were immediately full of unrealistic expectations

TBH you turned orange and streaky.

7. Finding a new sunscreen is cause for celebration

Non-greasy and it doesn't clog my pores?! YAASSS

8. You can rock a tan line like nobody else

You don't choose the pale life, the pale life chooses you.

9. Every outfit includes a hat

You and this grandma have a lot in common.

10. You've had to come to terms with your status as a pale princess

But, hey, unicorns are pale too. And they're f@#$% badass.

Embrace your inner unicorn.

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
