Trying To Be Positive When Things Feel They Are Falling Apart
Aubrey Muratorri

There are days where everything seems to be falling apart. Where everything that goes on in the day seems to just go wrong and you may feel like there is nothing that can possibly make the day better or worse. There will be the days where you don't want to get out of bed because you don't have anything to look forward to and everything will seem to be falling apart.

When these days happen it's important to listen to PD. For those who may not know, PD is personal development. It develops your mind and changes your mental health. As a person who has struggled with mental health myself, this has really changed me. It has given me a reason to look forward to the positives of every day. It has made me see the positives in every negative situation. It has changed my mental state completely.

There were days where I didn't want to go to school or go to work and would just lay in bed all day doing nothing because I didn't want to leave my house or even my room for that matter. Now I listen to my personal development while I drive to school and look forward to the day as it comes. When there are times where I think it could've gone better, I now think well it could've been worse and way worse.

I think about all the positives in my life. Like the fact I'm breathing, I'm alive, I have amazing friends and an amazing family that would do anything for me. When I have those rough days I reach out to them to give me a boost of confidence and a boost in motivation. Having a support team has such an impact on someone's life. It can really help someone out who is really struggling with something.

Even though things may seem to be falling apart, they will get better with time. Things only fall apart to get better. There is a path that you are following that will get you to your goals and the place where you need to be. Don't let the little bumps in the road keep you from following your dreams and goals. Let the hard times push you to go after them; Choose your hard!

Everyone has hard things that they go through daily. We have the ability to make powerful choices in our life and we can use these choices to fuel positive changes in our future. You are capable of making the progress you would like to make. You control your day, don't let everything else control you. Take a breath and realize you are in charge of the outcome of your day.

You choose how you react to the hard. You can either let it control certain situations or learn to control the situations yourself. Sometimes you have to go through the hardest times in life to become a stronger person.

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.
