Letting Go Of Your Emotional High

Its easy to want to give up as soon as something you've put your time and effort into goes wrong. Having met so many people but failing to have a connection with any of them. The feeling you get when you finally meet someone whom you instantly connect, instantly vibe, and enjoy the presence and company of. Everything is great until something goes wrong displaying the flaws that you were blinded by before.

By now you're stuck between having to choose whether you want to continue to be in the situation you're currently in or if its best to let go. A rush of feelings that's all you can feel. Perhaps, helplessness because you let yourself get fooled, for taking a risk and giving your all to someone. You feel foolish at the thought that you let your guard down.

Letting go of a level of intimacy you shared with someone else is something you can't get back or replace. You know the persons wrong for you but you can't seem to come to a realization.

Eventually, you pick yourself up. From time to time you think about this person. The nerves start hitting you. You keep telling yourself, "Why do I keep thinking about this person? it's been so long...Why now? why are you on my mind." You feel the need to find answers.

There are things we can't explain, there aren't any explanations as to why things like this happen. You just have to learn to move past the heart-wrenching pain of wanting answers and have to look at the overall picture. This person hurt you and by letting go you'll get rid of the heartache.

You are seeking answers to something that does not want to be found. Save yourself the time and effort. Don't give in to your emotional ego. Remind yourself, its time to let go.

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.
