Let's Spread Love, Not Panic

In This Article:

Here are the following reasons to not give up on hope. To think that 100 years from now, we would be a topic for world history classes. However, we can't be remembered for how poorly we acted in this situation. Even though it's zoom university, cancelled sport seasons, and saying goodbye to your friends much sooner, there are a lot of stuff to look forward to. One to start with is knowing that you're protecting a lot of us by staying at home, this virus knows no limits. Whether you're healthy or chronically ill, famous or normal, old or young, we have the possibility to get really sick from this.

Andy Beshear

@MorganEllenBabe

With our newly elected governor, Andy Beshear is making sure we won’t hit hard from the virus. Keeping us updated with a 5pm televised speech, keeping on top with testing, closing all unnecessary stores to the public, and reminding us to stay away from each other 6 feet apart. His leadership is praised throughout the nation, and the memes are keeping us in high morale.

Vaccine

@Forbes

A very progressive cure for a very aggressive virus. A vaccine is on its way to us. At first, the CDC stayed that a cure for Covid-19 would take 18-24 months. However, with a huge amount of funding for the government and celebrities, and blood from people who recovered, the vaccine is in the works.

Kindness

@melsulistio

This virus taught us that it’s necessary to not spread illness, but to spread kindness. Such as supporting local businesses by shopping through pick-up, or helping an elder with groceries because they couldn’t go to the store, even staying at home when you would rather hang out at the beach for spring break. Sacrifices have to be made for us to enjoy what we’re missing, and with y’all going out to spread kindness, you’re doing your job to help us get back to normal.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
