To The Girls Who Always Get Left Behind

"You are worth it."

I am guessing you have probably heard the "You are perfect and everything I have been looking for", and then a week later they are gone.

Some nights your eyes close softly, with a smile on your face, because he seems like he is going to stay. Until it happens again.

It is like a switch

It is crazy how everything can be going so great, and then the next moment you do not hear from them again. No words explaining why, no apologies, literally nothing.

It is habit to not care

You've begun to predict the future. You get your hopes up, and then it happens again. It is like a repetitive cycle that you cannot seem to escape from.

You still wonder what you did wrong

Your parents or friends usually say, "Do not worry, it is not you, it is him" but you question that. After it has happened almost every time you talk to a guy, you put it more on yourself each time.

The lengthy situations are the worst

You have gotten used to about the two and a half week mark until they fall off the earth, but the longer ones hurt much worse. Talking to someone for, three or more months is a big chunk of your time. Not saying it is been wasted but it sure was not a fun ending.

Do not say it if you do not mean it

I think the worst part is when they act like they are catching feelings as fast as you are. If they are not acting, then why a few days later, do their minds change so quickly?

I will not change for anyone

You feel like maybe you need to dress differently or change the way you look just to see if it makes them stay. DO NOT. This ends up being harder on yourself. You do not need to change for anyone, just watch them walk too.

If this is you, again I am sorry. I hope one-day things will change and this will not be such a fad.

You are worth it.

Do not think you are not.

He will come one of these days, and he will not even dream of leaving.

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

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.
