I Discovered Yes Theory, And Love Everything They Stand For

Once upon a YouTube bout, I stumbled upon a group of guys who established a YouTube career based on spontaneity and attempting feats they never thought possible. From watching these videos, I have discovered their reasoning and genuine craving to live life, and have learned that I should incorporate the theory into my life. So you may be wondering, what even is Yes Theory??

According to their website, Yes Theory believes that life can be as fulfilling and authentic as you wish so long as you're willing to seek discomfort. The main part of their videos is the initiative to seek discomfort, which involves putting themselves in situations that they would not normally be in or are conformable in. In doing this, they are able to travel the world, get out of their comfort zones, educate themselves, and grow as people.

I am inspired by this concept because it allows you to get out of the restrictions you have mentally set for yourself, and just go for something and see if you can actually accomplish it. This group of guys showed me you don't need to live every aspect of your life like them, but by incorporating the theory and learning to live your life while you have it, you are able to experience much more than originally thought.

In my daily life, I aim to knock down any mentally built restrictions for myself and allow myself to explore anything I would like to accomplish. With this concept influencing my life, within the past few days I have already spent more time with people who mean the most to me, made travel plans farther than I've ever gone by myself, and put myself and my needs before any negative energy clouding my headspace.

With this, I challenge every single one of you to take your life by the reins, say yes, go for what you want and deserve in life, and above all, seek discomfort!

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.
