Occasionally, I like to check to see how much the Mega Millions lottery is up to. Currently, it is $40 million. That is crazy!

Then I get to thinking... What would I do with all that money if I won?

I thought about it for a second and decided I'd like to share exactly what I'd do. Here are my top 10 ways I'd use my money if I won the lottery.

1. A long and relaxing vacation!

The first thing I would want to do is go on vacation. I would probably first go to Disney then book a cruise. I would totally relax.

2. Donate some!

I've always said that if I won the lottery, I would donate some of it. This would include charities as well as schools in my area.

3. Buy my dream house!

Getting my dream house would be... well, a DREAM!

4. Buy my dream car!

It would most likely be multiple dream cars because I would want a sports car, a truck, and an SUV. Not only would I buy my dream car, but I would by my mom and dad one, too.

5. Travel!

I would love to travel everywhere. Europe, Asia, across the United States, everywhere! I want to experience something new.

6. Hire a chef!

I would never want to cook again, so of course, the obvious solution is to hire someone to do that.

7. Go on a shopping spree!

A shopping spree is not fun by yourself, so my closest friends would be included to shop 'til we drop.

8. Pay off my student loans... and my sister's!

Buh-bye, debt. Nothing would be more satisfying than paying all of our debt off.

9. Go to every concert I want to when I want to!

Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, and so many more.

Honestly, I'd probably just go to a concert because I could at this point.

10. Share the money with my mom and dad!

Of course, a lottery is only fun when you have people to share it with. My parents have done so much for me, so it's the least I can do for them.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

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.

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.
