A Letter to The Boy Who Left Me Confused

I don't even know where to begin, there are so many things I think about when I think about us. I think about how I never thought it would go anywhere in the beginning. I think about how for a while I didn't let myself feel anything because I figured it would just end before it became anything. But it didn't end, instead, we had something great and it was going somewhere. At the end of the day, I think the hardest part of this is knowing we were happy and that we were going somewhere but out of nowhere that all went out the window.

When I think of you lately I try to think of the bad, but I can't think of anything. Instead, I think of all the things we didn't do and all the things that were never said. We never got to go skiing, or get sushi, or spend a day in bed being lazy. You never got to spend time with my friends, we never got to go for a hike. I may have gotten to know your favorite color, and your favorite animal yet I don't know the worst thing to ever happen to you or even the best thing. I don't know your family traditions at Christmas and you don't know mine. While we thought we knew each other pretty well, there was still so many conversations to be had. I wish you would've opened up to me in the ways I was starting to open up to you. I was slowly allowing myself to trust because I didn't think you were going anywhere. I thought we had so much more time to get to know each other, that I had more time to ask these questions.

Even though it's been a while I still find myself waiting for you to text me good morning, or tell me about your classes. You're still the person I want to tell about my roommates doing something stupid at one in the morning, the one I wanna talk to about the exciting things happening in my life. And when I think about these things I wonder if you're feeling the same way. I wonder if you're missing me, or wondering how I'm doing. Or was I just the girl who occupied your time?

No matter what I just want you to be happy, and that's the biggest thing. No matter how many questions I still have or all the what ifs. I'll always accept that people and feelings change. The one thing I can't accept however is knowing that you didn't give us enough time. I know one day I'll stop thinking about it all and accept it for what it is, but for now, I'll be here wondering about all the unknowns and trying to make sense of something I don't entirely understand.

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.
