A couple summers ago I didn't have anything better to do, so I decided to binge the crime drama Criminal Minds. I had already seen quite a bit of the episodes already and couldn't wait to see what other stories I was missing. Like all my other shows, there were times I cried because I was happy that the victim was found unharmed and the unknown subject (unsub) was caught. There were other times I cried because of heart breaking tragedies with the main characters or if they couldn't get to the victim in time. Here are the 13 times that Criminal Minds broke my heart.

1. When Gideon left the team because he felt his judgement had been compromised

Spencer was so heartbroken.

2. Spencer leaves a good-bye message to his mom, believing he was about to die

There was never enough tissues.

3. Derek driving the ambulance with the bomb it away and Garcia having to hear it

Double the pain and heart ache.

4. After a horrible case, Emily find that Hotch had been stabbed and stayed with him in the hospital

5. When J.J. watched her soon-to-be husband walked into a hostage situation

It becomes even worse when you realize they have a son together.

6. Penelope is the unknowingly the target of an unsub

7. Garcia after hugging J.J. goodbye as she unwillingly leaves the BAU

8. Rossi finds out that one of his wives is sick and when the time comes, to help her die

9. Kate as she hugs Hotch good-bye, leaving the BAU

10. Emily's past comes back to haunt her and fights it on her own to protect her BAU family

11. Hotch fighting and killing the man who did who murdered his ex-wife

12. When Morgan finds out Hotch and J.J. faked Emily's death

13. When Derek lives the BAU

Bawled like a baby.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
