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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
