Does your life revolve around Snapchat? If so, then you have to hear these hacks! P.S. the last one is crazy!

1. You can get other colors on the drawing palette besides the ones shown.

Simply put your finger on the palette and drag to the left to get lighter colors. Drag to the upper left corner to get white and down to the lower left corner to get black.

2. Get back old snap filters!

On your iPhone, go to Settings, then General, and click Date and Time. Turn off Set Automatically and choose the date and time of the filter you want. For example, if you want the first set of the filters to go to Sept 15, 2015, which is the first day when these filters were updated.

3. See how many snaps you send and receive by clicking Snapchat on the screen where you send snaps.

The first number is the number of snaps you’ve sent and the second shows how many you have received.

4. If you have an Android you can use a Transparent filter.

Press the pencil and hold it down and a transparent filter comes up.

5. You can change what emojis come up next to users names.

Go to Settings and then Manage. Then click Friend Emojis and you can change what emojis correlate to what types of friends! Maybe now when your best friend says she is BFF with someone for three months she really isn’t, she just changed the emoji!

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.
