Thoughts You Have While Trapped On A Bus With Your Teammates

mike-stephenson.com

This weekend my team completed our final weekend of traveling for our spring season. These long and endless bus rides leave a lot of time for random and meaningless thoughts during the bus rides. There is time for pretending to do homework, a time for sleeping, and a time for team bonding because you love your team and you are also trapped on a moving vehicle with no way out for hours on end. The common ones are as follows:

1. I have so much time ahead of me on this bus ride, I'm going to be really productive.

2. Actually, first I'm going to watch a quick movie.

3. While I have the time I might as well watch the sequel.

4. I refuse to use the bathroom on this bus even though I seriously regret chugging that water bottle before we left.

5. Bus driver would you please stop slamming on the breaks.

6. How has it honestly only been 2 hours?

7. I secretly love looking out the window while listening to deep and thoughtful songs pretending to be all emotional and ponder the meaning of life.

8. It is physically impossible to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

9. I have no clue what state we are in anymore.

10. I should've packed more snacks..

11. This wifi is not working and I am not having it.

12. There is a high possibility someone will get bus sick during this trip.

13. There are no other people I'd rather be trapped on a vehicle with then these crazy teammates.

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.
