I Graduate In The Spring & I'm Actually Nervous

So much in the future and have no idea where to start.

So here I am my last year of college, and slightly freaking out. Not freaking out over the price of textbooks or why I made my schedule is about 12 hours Tuesdays and Thursday.

NO, here I am freaking out about the end my Associates Degree Endgame.

All my mind is going to:

Where will I transfer too?

Is this major really worth it?

Where will this degree take me?

I may just be overthinking, but it really does scare me. I know I have all the control to this too. I get to pick and choose it just feels like its all coming too fast.

I have worked for this for almost 5 years and just for an associates degree. I feel like I should be farther than where I am now. But I am also not going to lie, I've messed up and that put me behind, but I didn't give up.

I refuse to give up though, I have done things and I am not proud of and at a few times through my college years, I have thought about giving up, more than once. It was a long back and forth battle just to finally come to the conclusion:

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU NEED TOO DO YOU WILL GRADUATE!

Someone, please tell me I am not alone?

Don't get me wrong, I have my burst of excitements like when I think about putting on the cap and gown for the first time, decorating my cap, and even planning my party, but I know I still have a bit of time before that happens.

I guess I'm just scared of what this big whole world has yet to offer and how it will affect me in the future. But that's the scaring thing not being able to see into the future even though you can plan it over and over, not everything will line up.

So yes the future and change are scary but we can do this.

Congratulations to all the Graduates that are terrified like me. We got this good luck.

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.

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.
