Has someone ever said to you, "You're acting like you're mad at the world" or "You look like you're mad at the world"?

When that happens, you might think to yourself: Maybe I am mad at the world.

If you have thought that to yourself (I am mad at the world and everyone in it), I want you to think about what has happened that caused you to feel that way. I want you to take into account what actually caused you to feel this way.

Ask yourself these questions: Am I just not in the mood to be around people? Am I just angry at something that happened in the day?

These are two questions that will help you understand what is making you mad at the world. Answering these questions fully and honestly will allow you to take another moment to really understand yourself.

So if you answered yes to the first question, then why are you not in the mood? Are you depressed? Are you just tired? What is causing you to not be in the mood to be around others? When you have identified that and understood that, then see what you can do to fix it. Maybe you have to fix yourself.

If you answered yes to the second question, then the main thing to do is to understand what you can learn from it. Take the time to look at everything as a positive, or in other terms, a blessing in disguise.


By the end of this, I want you to be able to have identified the true problem, able to understand why it is the problem, know how to fix it, and continue to fix it when it occurs again.

This will help you to continue the journey of understanding yourself and understanding how to express what you truly feel.

This is important because we have be able to fully communicate how we feel in the best way possible.

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.

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.
