#PaleGirlPerks

Believe it or not there really are perks to being pale.

Believe it or not, there are perks to having porcelain skin! Don't let the media tell you different. Anyone heard of #PaleGirlProbs before? Then you know exactly what I mean. Speaking as someone who has struggled with body acceptance, including my fair skin, I have found some perks of being pale along the way. So for all the other pale girls out there, this one is for you!

1. Never having to change foundation shades

Spending $30 every season for new foundation doesn't sound that fun to me.

2. A majority of the world wishes they were pale and not tan

P.S. Years ago people wanted to be pale as much as people want to be tan nowadays.

3. Getting bonus points for being a ginger.

You're like a unicorn!

4. Saving money by not getting spray tans.

Also, saving yourself from looking like Ross.

5. Being the fairest of them all.

All of the time!

6. Not having premature wrinkles.

I mean if I had to choose between looking like a porcelain doll or a leather couch, I know which I'd choose...

7. Not looking like an Oompa Loompa

8. Having freckles

Girls are trying to create them on their own freckles when we already have some. Score!

9. Parasols are super cute, right?

Cute and safe. Win-win! If Gwen Stefani can do it, we certainly can!

10. Having vampire vibes 24/7

Sparkle on, ladies!

11. We are a part of an exclusive club.

It is possible to get a tan and get darker, but it is nearly impossible to gain pale skin. You're either born with it or you're not.

12. Practically being a member of the Addams family

*snap snap*

13. When people automatically think you're Irish.

The real perk is when you actually are. Just saying.

14. Pale girls are the epitome of red lip classic.

Old Hollywood glamour ring a bell?

15. Not tanning is healthier

We all know this, but on a serious note, please wear some SPF.

16. Being delicate and dainty one minute...

17. ...And being a complete vampy bombshell the next minute.

18. Being unapologetically yourself.

Thanks for reading! To all my pale girls: keep rocking your porcelain skin! To all the girls in the world: do not be ashamed about the way you look! Whatever your skin color is, you are beautiful the way you are. Remember that.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
