"Pieces Of Me"

"Pieces Of Me"

Being stuck on an idea, I wasn't sure what to write about this week. All of a sudden the song "Pieces Of Me," by Ashlee Simpson came on. It's an oldie but still relevant. Having some trouble with different things lately made me realize I'm not exactly sure how I've been feeling.

Well, you must know the song especially if you were born in the late 90's or early 2000's. It starts off like this:

"On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me"

Just now hearing it became so clear and relevant because that is me. Going through a break up right now is tough especially because we have been together almost three and a half years. It's a repetitive cycle.

Sunday we fight, Monday I wait for him, Tuesday I am fading because I don't feel good, by Wednesday I'm more of a mess and can't sleep more, then for the rest of the week I'm just all over the place. Because after a few days the guy I was fighting with comes and tries to fix it. I give in and forgive you.

"It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels"

You make me feel so special for a moment and make it seem like our love is real. I feel as if it is only us two and no one else matters. It never lasts long anyway. When the next week arrives, though, it happens all over again.

"I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care"

I know the way I am depicting and relating to this song is not how most others would, maybe it's just the way I'm feeling. It's true, I can be messy and moody but it's usually because I feel as if you don't care. Come to find out, you don't.
When I'm angry, you listen

"Make me happy it's your mission
And you won't stop til I'm there"

Most times when I am feeling down you try to make me feel better, but lately, that hasn't been the case. You tell me "I'm faking it", as in being upset. You used to fight so hard for me to stay, what happened?

"I hope it never goes away..."

Well, it is going away because you have ended us again and we now have to go our own ways. You gave up.

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.
