Self-Proclaimed Nice Guys Have Destroyed The World

"For the guys who can't seem to find that girl."

This is an article for all the fellas out there. It's mostly advice for the guys who can't seem to find that girl. Gentlemen, if you feel like you're a good guy and no one notices, read this. Ladies, if you have ever experienced (or know) a guy like this, make him read this too. Might do some good.

Let's start with the obvious: You're scared. Look at this missed connection below:

I sent this picture to some girls I know and asked what they'd do in this girl's position. Overwhelmingly, they all said something to the effect of: "Why couldn't he just talk to me there? Kind of creepy." This is the greatest fault of the kinds of guys who do this: their actions, no matter how well-meaning or even sweet in nature, end up coming across as creepy. Chances are, this dude didn't get a response (because only people like him browse missed connections). And it's sad because maybe he was a really sweet guy. But that girl, and potentially many other girls he's come across, will never know that because he's too scared to speak up.

It's frightening to speak up, I get it. I've been in that position many times. Sometimes I go and talk to her, other times I get too nervous and end up not saying anything. But those times when I talk to her? They're awesome. Usually, it doesn't pan out, but at least I've got that experience under my belt. So, why can't you? Besides, you seem more friendly if you start the conversation.

So, Golden Rule: Just say Hey

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.
