Long Hair, Don't Care

Just kidding, we care a lot.

Long hair, we actually really care a lot. Although our luscious locks are our signature for every occasion, sometimes it can be too much to handle. Beautiful long hair comes at a price; it takes hours of hard work, practice, and patience in order to even be presentable. If you are thinking of growing out your hair, read this and second think that choice.

1. Long hair gets all up in your food. Picking your hair out of your plate of food will happen at every meal. I suggest an up-do for any first dates or fancy occasions. One day you will pull a long strand out and it will no longer be gross; congrats you're getting the hang of it.

2. Cars with no roof are your worst enemy. You might think that your hair blowing in the wind is majestic, but chances are it won't be. It will fly in all different directions and sometimes even whip you in the face...hard. The best part are the giant messy knots that you have when you finally escape.

3. Butt crack hair. The rumors are true. Showers will be a new and frightening experience when you grow your hair nice and long. Hair, especially long hair, sheds like it is its job. This means that you will find strands in your butt crack after showering. Just pull them right out, no shame, we all do it

4. Brushing your hair will become a workout. Not only will it take longer, it's much more difficult. Find the best technique for your type of hair and roll with it. On the plus side, no more arm day at the gym!

5. Buns will be large and in charge. Get ready for the birds nest joke. That's it.

6. Always have someone help you style your hair. You can not trust that every inch of your hair is completely straightened or curled. Those stray pieces always seem to pop out of nowhere. Have a friend do a quick sweep before you venture out in public.

7. Get ready to spend the majority of your money on products. Even the essentials (shampoo and conditioner) will need to be replenished much more often. The "pea size" amount of shampoo and conditioner rule never applies for those with long hair. Try "clementine size" and adjust from there.

8. But it all pays off because you are the closest you will ever be to becoming a mermaid!

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

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.
