Summer is full of fun things but if you are anything like me the sun can get in the way. Being pale leads to endless sunburn that seems to be unpreventable. But not only is being pale a problem in the summer but all year. Here are just some issues that us pale people go through.

1. Not being able to wear white because you'll look naked.

2. Not being able to wear red lipstick because you'll look like a vampire...

3. ... Also not wearing all black because you'll look like a vampire again.

4. Then if you were dark lipstick you look like you just came back from the dead.

5. Never finding a foundation that won't make you look orange.

6. Then when you don't wear makeup everyone thinks you're sick.

7. being in the sun for 15 minutes and turning into a lobster.

8. Picking between 30 different sunblocks but none of them actually work.

9. Trying to figure out what SPF even means and if you need SPF 50...

10. ... Then having to reapply it 20 minutes later to be safe.

11. Getting sun blisters and having coat your body in aloe.

12. Finally being tan just to have it peel and then you're back to your pale self.

13. Having your tan friends compare their tan to yours because it's "funny."

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
