Forget Winter, When Is Fall Coming?

This heat has got to end!

Forget Winter, When Is Fall Coming?

When September finally came everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief because it meant one thing: fall was coming. Fall is such a beautiful season because it is the best of both weathers; it's warm enough that you can wear a T-shirt or thin long sleeve shirt but it's cool enough that you won't break out into a sweat as soon as you leave your house. We were all excited for fall weather and yet, two weeks into the month, the weather has not changed. Instead of seeing the leaves change on the tree, we all are scrambling to blast our AC units as high as possible, so we do not melt into human sized puddles.

When you go outside the air still feels like you're on the surface of the sun. People are still wearing shorts and tank tops like we're in the middle of July. Two days ago I was invited to go tanning in the park! This weather madness is making me think that fall is never going to come this year. We will be watching football in the pool. Hot chocolate will be replaced with iced coffee. Instead of apple picking we will be tanning and eating ice cream! All of the amazing aspects of fall will be pushed back due to a summer that never wants to end.

It may seem like I don't like summer and I want to set the record straight: I do not. There are cool aspects of summer; school is out is session and it's acceptable to not wear pants anywhere. However, in my eyes, the bad outweighs the good. Whenever you go outside you are immediately soaked in sweat. Say goodbye to any cute outfit or makeup idea you have; the heat will automatically ruin it. Not to mention that summer brings out all of the scary bugs; bugs that will bite you and leave red, itchy marks for weeks. I may be in the minority on this but summer is the worst season.

Fall, wherever you are, know that there are many people waiting for you to come. People who want to wear cozy sweaters and drink apple cider. People who want to jump into piles of leaves and celebrate Halloween without feeling like they are walking through the gates of hell. Please come soon, fall, I'm begging you!

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.
