2016 Trends That Are Not Making The Cut To 2017

1. Juju on that… NO

This song by Zay Hilfigerrr has taken over social media and is the go to for all parties, but many are tired of the repeating lyrics and this is exactly why this song does not make the cut to 2017.

2. Water Bottle Flip Challenge

This challenge proves that anything can go viral, no matter how ridiculous. There are better ways to waste your time rather than flipping bottles, come on America.

3. The Mannequin Challenge

From sports teams to celebrities this challenge only needed one weekend to be remembered and to make everyone trying their best, throwback to the Harlem Shake, am I right?

4. Kanye West’s attitude

Bless his heart, from his rants on stage to needing to be hospitalized for “exhaustion”. I wish I was wealthy enough to check in to a hospital to take a nap. Maybe one day I could be on Kanye’s level.

5. Celebrities ditching Instagram

From Kendall Jenner to The Biebs, celebrities are calling it quits on Instagram and honestly this trend needs to stop. Like now. I am not kidding.

6. Taylor Swift’s drama

All the men, all the music, all the money I think Taylor Swift needs to take the whole year of 2017 to fly under the radar. She already makes more money that me and my super hot millionaire husband will ever make, so just chill Taylor and if you feel the need to date, date a middle class normal human.

7. Anything pertaining to the 2016 Election

Trump won, get over it. And also Trump supporters need to quit with “build that wall”.

8. Yeti Butts

No one wants to see that. We get it you have a yeti cooler and you have friends of the female gender, but there is zero reason to combine the two with a girl sitting on your cooler in close to nothing. If I spent that much on a cooler, oh wait no I would not spend that much on a cooler.

9. Contouring

Who has time for this? We are all beautiful without makeup and I understand how many feel the need to pound on the powder but less is more.

10. Over-editing photos

Everyone can tell when your skin looks airbrushed or if the background is bent at an odd angle that you edited your photo and this needs to stop, no one wants to be THAT girl that everyone bashes at wine Wednesdays.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.
