It's Great You Have Strong Opinions... But Keep Them Off Twitter, Please

It is great that you have an opinion, but I really don't care to read it on Twitter.

It's Great You Have Strong Opinions... But Keep Them Off Twitter, Please

Let me start this article by sending you snaps of approval... all of you. I do not care what your background is, your beliefs are, or where you land politically. If you have an opinion that is phenomenal and something that should never change. If you stand up for what you believe in, HOLY SH*T, seriously, I have mad respect for you.

BUT

Please, do not plaster it all over my Twitter timeline.

Recently, I spend a semester abroad. Being away, my only way of knowing what was going on at home was Twitter... except it was all negative and I really couldn't tell what was actually going on because everyone was putting out there two cents on the topics.

Either way, please keep it off of Twitter for a few reasons.

First Reason

Just like you do not care to hear my opinions, I really do not care to hear yours. If I cared, I would ask you.

Second Reason

You plastering your opinion on social media, especially Twitter and Instagram is not going to change anything.

So, instead of posting complaints and stuff no one really wants to read when they open twitter. Try something new...

If it is easier for you to voice your beliefs on social media, try Linkedin. Linkedin is a great place to connect with like minded people and also can help you find a job at a company that is MADE for you!

Honestly though, please if you have an opinion, make your opinion heard. Twitter won't get you anywhere unless your box of Chips Ahoy came broken when you bought them... Go to marches or rallies. Speak your mind, just not on my Twitter timeline.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
