Just Observe The World

The places, the people, mother nature, tiny things.

Just Observe The World
Cua Yang

Have you ever observed the places around you? The people? The small things?

Like mother nature? Those animals you don't like because, well because you just don't?

Have you ever taken time out of your busy life and just enjoyed the weather? Went out to the lake and sat on a boat and let it float away? Have you ever just star gazed in the back of your yard and saw random things floating in the sky, or seen shooting stars (meteors crossing into our atmosphere and going back out of our atmosphere.)

Have you ever just sat from your car and watched people load things, fix things, get into, get out, change a diaper, or something like that?

If you do, I'm glad you notice the things around you. I'm glad you are able to acknowledge the people you hang out with, the things you do, the things other people do for you, I'm glad you're able to feel everything. I'm glad you're able to acknowledge that feeling you feel right now.

Amazing, isn't it? When was the last time you went to visit your favorite hang out spot? When was the last time you passed by your hometown or the things you used to do when you were small as a kid?

It's amazing how we live in this huge ball of life, where things repeat itself, or you can change the lifecycle some way or somehow. It's amazing how we live in that ball, and above us is black with some other huge balls made of gas, toxins, and other sorts. It's amazing how we're all fighting about the color of our skin, to the language we speak, to the different genitals in our bodies, to money and so much more. Yet, we refuse to acknowledge that we humans are very tiny. That we humans live in a huge ball, that could corrupt or die anytime. Yet all we're worried about is the color of our skin, the languages we speak, and so on. When what we should really be worried about is how in the world can we make this planet grow, instead of destroying it more. How can we fly further into space and relocate humans. From all the disasters we have seen so far into 2017, Earth is pretty close to dying or corrupting.

So I'll say it again. Observe the world. The places, the people, mother nature, tiny things. Observe them all, and create things beyond what other people may want to believe can happen. It's not for the fame. It's for the future generations ahead of us.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.
