Wash-Day For Naturals

Using gifs, because why not?

Wash-Day For Naturals
Joey Rosado

Since going natural, my hair is healthier than ever. It's longer than ever, thicker than ever — I love it. But it's not as easy to maintain, nor do words describe the process thoroughly enough. So let me show you using gifs and still images.

Let's take wash day for example. Yes, wash DAY. It'll normally take you between three to six hours to do it, which leaves you exhausted.

Wash day consists of:

1.

2.

(30 minutes to an hour)

3.

4. Get your little products...


Nah it's more like this...

5. Dry your hair...


Under regular circumstances, you wouldn't blow dry it. So imagine it being like this, except with a soft t-shirt.

6. Start the long, tedious process that is your hairstyle :

Try to get out that last little bit of your favorite product...


Venture into a few different hairstyle settings...



Sleep...


and end up with these...



or these...


With which, you get extremely frustrated and your day feels like it's on a continuous downward spiral.


Then the breakdown happens while your friend tells you it's not that bad...


But these things can always be easily fixed. You'll learn to huff and puff it out.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

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.
