Everyone knows that the only people who suffer from depression are thin, pretty, white women. You can usually tell if a thin, pretty white woman is depressed by looking at her. Is she wearing an oversized sweater? Is she looking out a window? If so, then the thin, pretty white lady is most likely suffering from depression. But, wait... What happens if the woman you see is wearing an oversized sweater and looking forlorn, but she doesn't actually have depression? How can you tell?

Below, I have provided you with a short exercise to help you practice differentiating thin, pretty white women with depression from the ones without depression. Because, you know, it's totally your business.

1. Crangelina


Crangelina actually is just wondering where the hell her heater repairwoman is. Her apartment is so cold. Try again.

2. Kerryghynnleeigh

Kerryghynleeigh suffers from depression. She should talk to her doctor.

3. Pants


Pants also suffers from depression. She should take her daily medicine prescribed by her doctor.

4. Tyrannosaurus Betty


T-Betts is just a little disgruntled because she's blurry. Also, she's freezing. Notice the oversized sweater? Try again.

5. Pahtryshahlyn


Pahtryshahlyn isn't depressed. She doesn't know where she left that quinoa, but she's trying her best to remember while suffering the intense frigidity of her apartment. Try again.

6. Whoops, I think this is another photo of Pahtryshahlyn


Pahtryshahlyn 2.0 actually does have depression. Unlike the fact that I accidentally chose two photos of the same girl, depression is no laughing matter.

Her case of depression started long ago when she realized that the media never portrays people with depression as people of color, so a lot of her friends often go undiagnosed.

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.

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.
