Never Let Me Go: A Poem

If it happens, it happens. Who am I to deny fate – to defy destiny?

Never Let Me Go: A Poem

Enough with the nudging!

Enough with the pesters!

Who are you to decide with whom I shall spend my time –

With whom I shall be?

To whom I shall give all my melting hugs and kisses in exchange for a momentary escape…


I am in my own little world – full of wondrous thoughts, full of dreams:

Full of self-driven yet still selfless plans of who I want to be…

For I still have myself to figure out, though there are will come those times –

Times when I want to seek out: to look up, to reach out and call over –

But still.

Still I have to do it myself, yet do not be fooled:

For you see, that is the guise at which we are gazing upon the heavens, its mystical design…


You think you get to decide but appear not to by these pushes and nudges –

Pushing and nudging me in the right direction,

Pestering me along the way –

But you don't get to decide as much as I want to,

And yet I don't either –

Not as much as I would like, or as how much as fate allows.


If it happens, it happens.

Who am I to deny fate –

To defy destiny?


Only fate will decide how it will work out in the end –

Though I can agree my beginning should have been more enjoyed in that sense.

I'm on my own looking but from afar

For someone to return my longing, melting kisses,

Around whom I shall wrap my arms tightly and never let me 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.

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.
