An Ode To Those In Long Distance Relationships

You guys are the real heroes.

I’ve had to have a long distance relationship since December and I can say it’s by far, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

I don’t know how some people can do long distance for years. This has been one of the most emotionally exhausting times. You guys are saints that can do this for years.

My boyfriend and I were only dating 3 months at the time we were forced in to long distance. We’ve tried writing letters, we’ve tried looking forward to our “us time”, we have tried everything the articles say online, but there’s just this constant nagging pain when we are apart and I’ve read that it’s normal to have, but there must be some way to cope with it.

You who do long distance for longer term must be superhuman. I support you fully, but as a girl who loves her cuddles, I don’t know how you do this. I miss him all the time, and it’s not a normal miss. It’s an overly needy miss, it’s like someone has stolen my best friend. This has been the longest time of my life.

I miss him every day. I don’t understand how you in long distance relationships can function. I feel so miserable with out him. Yeah, okay, you have to, but more times than not all I want to do is call out every day and burn my vacation time. So to you people who manage long term, long distance relationships, I wish you the best, and you all have the patience of a saint.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

April Ludgate

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.
