7 Reasons Why Anime is for Everyone
Pixelstalk

Many people still have the misconception that anime are cartoons for kids, otaku's, or even perverts. I'm here to say that is dead wrong! Anime is for everyone. We all can take something out of it.

1. Life Lessons/Values

Such as the law of equivalent exchange. To obtain something, we must lose something of equal value.

We learn that we should be the change we want to see in the world.

And we also learn the power of friendships and their value.

2. Art/Scenery

Everyone appreciates good artwork. If that isn't beautiful, I don't know what is.

3. There's an anime for everyone

The list goes on and on. You could select your anime based on genre, demographics, and how long or short of a series you'd like to watch. There's literally something for everyone.

4. Surprises

Plenty of people think that once you've seen, read, or watched a "sufficient" amount of stories, there's not much else out there that could surprise you. Again, you are wrong. Especially when it comes to anime. There's enough anime out there to feed your imagination!

5. Exploration of Cultures

In Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, we had an integration and bond between the Amestrians, Ishvalans, and Xingese people when fighting the villain. After years of conflict and war, their cooperation with each other was a pretty big deal!

6. Meet "new" people

Obviously, it's not possible to list all of the possible personalities you can encounter in anime. There are way too many. The point, however, is to show the types of people in an anime that resemble those out there in the real world. On that note, anime definitely brings people together in the real world!

7. Lastly, animes interpret realistic concepts in an unrealistic way

Such as the ishvalan war extermination. Most of the soldiers felt immediate remorse for slaughtering the innocent because of an order from the higher ups. Their deaths went into the creation of the philosophers stone. Though the philosophers stone doesn't exist in reality, war certainly does.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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.

April Ludgate

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.
