5 Traits To Look For In A Partner Before Committing.

Divine Live

1. Hobbies

If they do not have any hobbies of their own, chances are pretty probable in the long run they are not going to want you to have any either. Make sure your level of happiness matches, that includes hobbies and being around other people. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not allowed to do something that you really enjoy. If your potential partner is weird about you playing your favorite sports on a league with your dudes, or if they are weary about you joining a new yoga class or going to the gym... BYE BYE!

2. Dedication

Observe how dedicated they are in all aspects of life. Look for someone who wants to achieve the best and are dedicated to not only you, but themselves as well. Someone who is not motivated may bring you down a dark path and could make your life extremely depressing.

3. Family

Watch how they speak to your family, their family, and their friends family. It means a lot having respect and being presentable. There should never be a time where your partner questions your family either. If they do - or try and take time away, that is a huge red flag. A big no no.

4. Trust

Once you guys get over the lovey stuff and start figuring our each others corks be sure to trust them. I know you are SOO IN LOVEEEE. That does not mean look through phones, go through rooms, and stalking each others social media. It means let each other live the lives you love, figure it out together, and trust one another. If you care - you know that person would never do anything to hurt you. If they do, and destroy that trust - call it quits. There is no room for mistrust in a relationship. It will destroy you.

5. Friendship

Friendship is so important! As in - make sure the person has at least ONE best friend. If you find someone who does not have friends - chances are pretty probably you will be getting a crazy person as a partner. Look at their friends and get to know them, it will say a lot about that person. ALSO, establishing a friendship between you and your potential partner is critical. Take it slow, make sure you can be yourself around them. Don't start out some lovey dovey person and turn into one of those narcissists who reel you in the first month then start calling names and getting possessive. If your potential partner is talking smack about their only friend as well - ICKYYYY BYEEEEEEEE. NO WAY.

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.
