During this pandemic, when we should be cautious and taking care of our health, we should hope to leave it feeling it was a time well spent when things die down in the future.

How to not waste your time during quarantine

I've gotten really into Duolingo, whether or not I'm actually going to be fluent in French, Italian, and Japanese by the time the pandemic is over is beyond me, but starting to learn languages during a time where you have a lot of time on your hands is pretty productive. Just a heads up though, hiragana is very hard to learn. As a primarily English speaker, I can kinda see some similarities in French and Italian, but starting to learn Japanese is a whole other ballpark, so props to anyone that can master both. Duolingo is really fun though, so I'd definitely recommend starting it f you're looking for something to do. Whether you have a ton of time or only a few minutes to kill.

At home exercise, you've probably seen in all over people's social media's, everybody posting their at-home workout routines and such. I haven't really been going on a routine lately, I'm just happy that there were a few dumbbells left at Dick's, but still, it's a good way to "waste" some time if you want.

Either way, this pandemic is very serious and hopefully, if people take the necessary precautions to prevent themselves and others from getting sick, it'll be over quickly.

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.

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.
