The Disney Princess Club: Actual Princess, or Just Heroine?
Snow White Story: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Year: 1937 Princess: Yes Justification: Snow White was born a princess. In the Disney version we never see her mother, and instead just know of her stepmother– the Queen. Due to that, as viewers it is a little questionable for us if her father married into the royal family after his wife (who had Snow White) died, or if the Queen married into the royal family. Well, based on several resources, it has reaffirmed my knowledge that Snow White is, indeed, a full-princess.

The Annoyances of Driving for Lyft
Recently I became a driver for Lyft. Why? Because I needed extra money. I mean, with today’s economy and the lack of jobs for college-educated individuals (I’m actually serious here.

Suicide May Not Be the Answer, but It Also Isn't Selfish
Let me preface this article by saying that I do not condone suicide, but I do understand it. I do not want someone to read this and then say that I encouraged them to partake in the act, because that is not my purpose. I do believe there are other ways out of pain, but I do understand why someone may be unable to find those ways.

Exposing the Darkness from Inside
Recently there has been a great deal of news regarding suicide, what with Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade recently taking part in the act. While that has sparked more conversation regarding suicide and mental illness once more, I know it will soon fade until another celebrity off's him or herself; a week or two will pass, and then the conversation about the prevalence rates of mental illness and how serious it can be will fade once more. The cycle will continue to repeat until society changes.
