While some of us are blessed with the ability to tan, others of us are not as lucky. For some of us, sunburns are a daily occurrence and we swear by aloe vera gel. Personally, being someone that does not tan at all, ever, I have grown accustom to many different situations, some more humorous than others. Here are five things only my fellow pasty people can relate to.

1. You CAN NOT forget to use sunblock!

When you have a pasty white complexion, one of the worst things you can do is forget to wear sunblock! You will burn before you get out your door!

2. Those beautiful burn lines.

Like the people above, you are prone to sunburn lines, not tan lines, but burn lines. Once again, the number one rule is wear sunblock at all times.

3. YOU DON'T TAN, ALL YOU DO IS BURN!

To be honest, there has never been anything but sunburns in your past, there are nothing but sunburns in your present and there will never be anything but burns in your future.

4. Raccoon eyes are nothing new.

Raccoon eyes are no laughing matter. It is one of the reasons why you avoid going outside in the first place! You obviously don't want to be blinded by the sun, but you also don't want to be punished by the sun for doing so.

5. That constant shade of pink over the summer.


No one fully understands why you have a constant pink undertone. While people say that getting dome color is good for you, they rarely mean pink.

We pasty people really have to remember sunblock, but it's something everyone should remember to use! Melanoma effects more than just those who burn. Make sure you use sunblock this summer, regardless of whether or not you burn! And if you still burn, even with sunscreen, just rock your new lobster look.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
