Get Out Of That Toxic Relationship, Right Now

Being in a relationship can be the best and yet the worst thing. I asked myself these simple questions: Am I happy? Are we both putting in the same amount of effort? Am I a priority? I answered them all no. I knew it was over and I had to get out.

I was so tired of being sad all the time. I would cry myself to sleep night after night because I knew deep down I deserved better but never knew if I would ever get that. I was willing to be sad and just continue on.

I then knew that I was putting in so much more time and effort into something I was getting nothing out of. I would Snapchat and text frequently. He would respond but it would take so long. I tried to facetime and call him all the time. He would rarely ever answer and when he did he it lasted like two minutes. I always asked to do things together and was always told no or some other time.

I realized I was no longer a priority. I was now at the bottom of the importance list. I need to be shown I'm important and I matter. I could tell that I no longer was and that was the biggest wake-up call for me.

After looking into all of that I knew it was time to get out. If I didn't do it now it was going to get worse. I got out and didn't look back. It was hard to see someone's heartbreak but in the end, I'm happy. This is the one time in my life I will be selfish. I have to be happy or it will never work out.

It is never too late!

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.

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.
