Can We Start Over?

Let’s not forget about what happened between us but let’s not make it the focal point of our friendship anymore.

Can we start over? I know we have been through so much and I know that we were so close at some point, but can we start over? I feel like we have peaked in our friendship and now we are on the slippery slope downwards with no traction to slow us down even the slightest. I don’t want our friendship to end. Some people just grow apart and their relationship goes with them. That can’t be us. I don’t want that to be us. I won’t let that be us. I need us. I need our friendship. I need you.

So let’s start over. Let’s not forget about what happened between us, you know I never could, but let’s not make it the focal point of our friendship anymore. There is so much more to us than what happened in that one month or two. Let’s re meet each other. Reintroduce ourselves. I know I am a completely different person than I was when I met you for the first time. I know you are a different person as well. So let’s tell each other who we are now. Let’s share how much we have reinvented ourselves in the short time we have known each other.

I have done so much soul searching since I have known you. I have thought a lot about my actions and attitudes and goals. You have helped me set most of those goals I have. You have helped me change my attitudes toward people or situations. You have helped me see the flaws in some of my actions and the beauty in others.

We have gone through a really really rough patch in our friendship that I am afraid we will not be able to fix. The hole that we have created is just too big to patch up. It’s going to take a lot more than I can afford to fix that hole. I can’t afford to try to fix something as big as this with such a high risk of losing you. I can’t do it. So let's start fresh. Let’s build a new and sturdier foundation for us to grow on.

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.

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.
