10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Getting A Pixie Cut

I first chopped my long locks when I was 14. It was an accident really? I’d tried to give myself a cool haircut and ended up having to get a pixie. I was devastated. But little did I know it would be the most amazing thing that could have happened to me. Here’s what I learned while having a pixie cut.


1. It will look odd at first but only because you know nothing about your hair. So look at YouTube videos and don’t get the same pixie haircut your 50 year old stylist has like I did. It doesn’t look that bad, right?!

2. Everyone will be talking about it for the first few days. Enjoy being center of attention. Afterwards, you'll be a go-to for pixie cuts and haircuts in general because you'll be getting them every 5-6 weeks.

3. You dad might hate it and will remind you everyday of your mistake and how you will never find a suitor (mine still does). p.s. that’s not my dad.

4. You can pull of headbands like nobody’s business.

5. And dye your hair different colors.







6. You become the “pixie” off all your friends. They come to you for advice on hair and how to look fabulous all the time!

7. Your hair will be healthier than it was before. My long hair was so dry and had so many split ends I couldn’t bare it. My pixie hair doesn’t and is so shiny and silky. I love it!

8. It takes FOREVER to get it looking good. Seriously!

9. You look good in everything! And not everyone can pull it off. But you did, Sunshine!


10. You will fall in love with it and probably never want to grow it out! (I unfortunately do, maybe).

Bonus: 11. You look back at old picture and can’t even remember having long hair.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
