To The Girl Who Got Ghosted

So you were talking to a new guy. Probably matched on Tinder or Bumble, right? Or if not, you met him in the basement of a frat house last weekend. And all of a sudden, he stops answering your texts and your snaps.

Here's the deal: don't let it get to you.

Now, as a girl who's been ghosted, trust me I know that's not always an easy pill to smile. He was a good kisser, he sent you sweet messages, he was hot, the list goes on and on.

But the truth of the matter is this: some guys will just use you and lose you. They'll get what they need to...hold them over for the time being.

Why would you let something like that get to you? Sure, be bummed out that it didn't work out. But don't dwell on it for days. It obviously wasn't meant to be. That doesn't invalidate whatever time you did spend together or whatever experiences you shared.

He came into your life, he left a mark, and he left. You live, you learn, and you continue on with your life.

This isn't a matter of whether or not hook-up culture is your thing. It's just a matter of recognizing your self-worth. Just because you were ghosted doesn't mean you're worth any less. It doesn't change who you are.

Getting ghosted does not reflect in any way on what you have to offer.

So next time he stops answering, use your discretion. Don't keep asking yourself, "What if?" You want and deserve someone who will make you their priority. So don't settle for anything less.

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.
