Now That Thanksgiving Is Over...

It's time for the rest of the holiday season to commence!

That means its time to run to the store and grab all the eggnog from the shelves... to rummage through your drawers to the very bottom to find your ugliest Christmas sweater... and blast that holiday music for all to hear! Because with Thanksgiving over... all the holiday nay-sayers don't have an argument anymore because December is just around the corner!

I, myself, have been in the holiday spirit since Halloween finished up. Actually, I have been in the spirit since the beginning of October. I absolutely adore the months of October through December. Halloween was a blast and I am certainly sad that it had to leave so soon, but it will be back!

But with the month of November, you have two different groups of people. People already declaring the holidays have started and others who don't want to hear anything Christmas related until Thanksgiving is said and done. I have enjoyed my glass of eggnog since... October (I'm even worse than those other holiday people). I certainly do enjoy my turkey day as much as the next guy though. It is my favorite food day. It is the day I look forward to eating all year long.


After Thanksgiving and I have gained ten pounds, I become ecstatic because I know that not too far away... is the start of December! I live for the Christmas Hallmark movies! More eggnog! The snow! The beautiful lights! Eggnog! The trees all decorated! The music! The shopping for presents! The spending time with family! EGGNOG!

I love everything about the holidays. I love the concept of everyone coming together to enjoy a happy occasion. No matter the holiday (it doesn't have to be the celebration of Christmas). People taking time off of work or school to be together. It is a wonderful time and I cannot wait!

Then in the blink of an eye... it's time for the new year! Time sure does fly quickly!

But in the meantime... go pour yourself a glass of eggnog and enjoy the official start of the Christmas (and the rest of the holidays) season!

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

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.
