#PaleGirlPerks

Believe it or not there really are perks to being pale.

Believe it or not, there are perks to having porcelain skin! Don't let the media tell you different. Anyone heard of #PaleGirlProbs before? Then you know exactly what I mean. Speaking as someone who has struggled with body acceptance, including my fair skin, I have found some perks of being pale along the way. So for all the other pale girls out there, this one is for you!

1. Never having to change foundation shades

Spending $30 every season for new foundation doesn't sound that fun to me.

2. A majority of the world wishes they were pale and not tan

P.S. Years ago people wanted to be pale as much as people want to be tan nowadays.

3. Getting bonus points for being a ginger.

You're like a unicorn!

4. Saving money by not getting spray tans.

Also, saving yourself from looking like Ross.

5. Being the fairest of them all.

All of the time!

6. Not having premature wrinkles.

I mean if I had to choose between looking like a porcelain doll or a leather couch, I know which I'd choose...

7. Not looking like an Oompa Loompa

8. Having freckles

Girls are trying to create them on their own freckles when we already have some. Score!

9. Parasols are super cute, right?

Cute and safe. Win-win! If Gwen Stefani can do it, we certainly can!

10. Having vampire vibes 24/7

Sparkle on, ladies!

11. We are a part of an exclusive club.

It is possible to get a tan and get darker, but it is nearly impossible to gain pale skin. You're either born with it or you're not.

12. Practically being a member of the Addams family

*snap snap*

13. When people automatically think you're Irish.

The real perk is when you actually are. Just saying.

14. Pale girls are the epitome of red lip classic.

Old Hollywood glamour ring a bell?

15. Not tanning is healthier

We all know this, but on a serious note, please wear some SPF.

16. Being delicate and dainty one minute...

17. ...And being a complete vampy bombshell the next minute.

18. Being unapologetically yourself.

Thanks for reading! To all my pale girls: keep rocking your porcelain skin! To all the girls in the world: do not be ashamed about the way you look! Whatever your skin color is, you are beautiful the way you are. Remember that.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
