Men, you have been warned.

Don't Wedge Your Way Between Sisters
introvertreflections

One of the most dangerous things a boyfriend can do is try to wedge his way between sisters. See, sisters are some of the most protective creatures on earth, right next to mother rhinoceroses. They have another sense where the crap you're about to pull is suddenly on their radar; it's as if they can see right through you. It's no secret to them that you're about to try to weasel your way into their position as a confidant, a fashion adviser, their support system, and most importantly, sister. This is when the defenses are raised and the arsenal is prepared. It's just something that you shouldn't try to do, yet it still happens. I can guarantee that this doesn't happen without casualties, though.

When the sister or sisters can see what the boyfriend is trying to do, the small amount of respect for said boyfriend is gone. It's only natural for someone to hate another's guts when they try to replace that person. There should be no "try." It should be up to that person to decide whether their sister or sisters are enough. There should be a separate space in the heart for sisters and boyfriends because let's be honest, there is definitely enough room for the both of them. The fight for the sister's heart is pointless. If the boyfriend is not sneaky with this replacement, which they never are, I think he doesn't deserve respect from the sister or sisters.

If things go well between the boyfriend and the sister, the boyfriend will eventually be the one who consumes most of the sister's heart when they get married. That's all fine and dandy, but the sister will always be the one who gets the unfiltered, plain truth no matter what. There will probably be a suppressing of thoughts or opinions at times in the relationship between the sister and her significant other, but there will always be an openness that sisters share because they are stuck with each other. They're family. They've seen each other at their worst. They've spilled all the dirt. There is no confession that is a surprise between sisters. This means that if a sister has ever been wronged by a guy, her sisters have heard about it. This is just another weapon added to their arsenal, and sisters don't forget stuff like that.

So, men, take this as a warning. Don't try to replace your girl's sisters. This will only make your life terrible. If you think you have successfully done this, think again. The sister will eventually realize that she needs her sisters because they fill the massive void that you leave.

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.
