5 Ways To Hack Your Laziness

Think being lazy is a bad thing? Think again! Check out these super easy ways to use your laziness to your advantage.

1. Put your phone in another room.

I can't be the only one that hates getting up when I'm sitting in a comfy position. When you're working, put your phone in another room or on another floor. You'll be too lazy to get it, and you'll save tons of time by not constantly feeling the need to check it.


2. Brush your teeth right after dinner.

I have a terrible midnight-snacking habit, and the best way I found to combat it was to just brush my teeth early. If I want to eat that snack, I'll have to brush my teeth again, which is just annoying.


3. Uncheck the "Remember Me" setting on Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Now every time you open your fav distracting sites, you have to type in your e-mail and password each time. It's a pain, and you'll find yourself feeling less inclined to gravitate towards those sites.


4. Replace the fingerprint/touch password on your phone with a long number combo.

It's so easy to check your phone all you have to do is touch it, and your home screen lights up. Now, if you have to enter in a long string of numbers and letters every time you want to check it, it's a lot less appealing.


5. Have a friend change your Facebook, Twitter, etc. passwords for you.

You literally won't be able to log in until your friend's assured you'll be able to log in. Just make sure your friend writes it down somewhere so you don't get locked out.

Now, close out of this tab, put your phone in another room, and get to work!

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.

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.
