The 11 Signs That You're The Pale Friend
Chelsey Eatmon

There's always one pale friend, and if any of these relate to you, chances are, you are that friend.

1. Your friends have to put a filter on the Instagram picture of you guys and you STILL look pasty in them.

"Girl, you're just going to have to get over the fact that you'll forever look like a ghost."

2. "Are you Irish?"

Whether I am or not, that isn't the majority of the reason I am pale...but maybe it is.

3. "Hang on guys, I forgot my sunscreen."

If you can't find the SPF 50, you're not going.

4. "Did you remember your sunscreen? You're starting to look red..."

This is probably the most annoying question we get asked when we're out in the sun.

5. You can NEVER borrow anyone else's makeup.

They might as well make a shade called "Casper, the Friendly Ghost."

6. Don't use the flash! It'll make me look whiter than I already am!

7. Don't forget a hat before going anywhere in the sun!

Just grab that visor your mom used once when she went golfing - you'll be set.

8. You didn't think it was possible, but you actually look even pastier in the winter.

Thanks, snow - you're really killing our vibe here.

9. When you actually do get some color to you (not red), it seems to disappear once you shower.

10. Why don't you try a spray tan?

Because we could end up like Ross in that one episode of "Friends," that's why.

11. But all in all, you know that you're excessive white-ness just makes you more...you.

Express it, because you won't miraculously become tan any time soon.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
