If you're anything like me, you don't wash your hair every day. There's a void in the week that only dry shampoo can fix, and some days it's still bleak. These hairstyles are perfect for when you're running late to class, work, or just need a change up to your look for that day!

Half-Up "Gymnast" Bun

I call it a gymnast bun because, when I did gymnastics as a child, I always shaped my buns like this.
  1. Brush hair to the top of your head, gather into a ponytail.
  2. Twist the ponytail into a spiral.
  3. Wrap twisted hair around the hair tie.
  4. Play around with the shape of it.
  5. Seal with elastic and bobby pins as needed.

Not-So-French Braids

This braid will definitely keep all your hair away from your face. For a little flare, wear a headband or use scrunchies.
  1. Part your hair wherever feels natural (I part down the middle).
  2. With the pointed end of a wide-tooth comb, brush hair straight down the back of your head, starting from the crown to the ends.
  3. Section hair into 3 equal sections, begin tugging and braiding right above your ear.
  4. Repeat on the other side of your head.
  5. Seal with an elastic, pull at strands for volume.

Pretty Pony

This little trick adds major Ariana Grande vibes to any ponytail.
  1. Part hair down the middle
  2. Section front pieces of hair (about 1/2-1 in.)
  3. Pull the remaining hair into a low or high ponytail (I usually prefer middle/low-ish)
  4. Adjust with bobby pins if needed
  5. Straighten front pieces (optional, but that's what I like to do)

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.
