Birth Control Pill

So I just started taking birth control in like the middle of last month. & I just finished my last blue pill today. & the white pills are next. I've read that the white ones start your period/ are just a reminder pill. Am I able to skip the white pills, & go right into a new pack of the blue pills? I heard that if you do that you can control when you have your period. Should I just go ahead and take the white pills this starting Sunday, or go right into a new pack?
