The Struggles of Being the Pale Friend [VIDEO]
If you can't sit in the sun for ten minutes without burning, this video is for you.
Hi, I'm Courtlin and I am the pale friend. This summer has been rough for me so far. I've spent more time burnt than I have not burnt. Even after applying sunscreen every few hours, I've still turned into a lobster. I have already peeled off a large portion of my skin like a snake. Twice. And it stinks because all of my friends have lovely, even tans! Curse my Irish and Polish heritage! (just kidding, I love beer and pierogies)
I came across this video and I instantly knew that I would be able to relate. Maybe you can too! Are you the "pale friend?" Watch the video and let us know!
