Advice To Those Balancing Work And School
Patten Edu

To the typical student working their butt off going to school and managing any type of job. Whether it's a full-time job or part-time job. Remind yourself to take a break. Breathe, try to have fun and relax a little bit.

Managing a tight schedule can overwhelm anyone. Whether it's because of the stress from managing a full course load or it's work expectations, responsibilities and stress from coworkers. A word of advice to those who can relate, take some time for yourself. Go out and have some fun with your friends, don't be afraid to take off a day off or two, and if you ever feel like you're taking on the world on your shoulders, ask for help.

It can be easy to feel like there are not enough hours in the day. You are constantly having a mental breakdown every time you realize you can't complete a simple task such as doing laundry because you don't have the time with work, school, and studying.

Just keep in mind this is not forever, it's not long term or permanent. This is just a little bit of what you have to give up now to help build a better future for yourself. Just have faith and remember it'll be worth it in the end.

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.
