Seasons Of Change

Listen to the music, and follow it.

Seasons Of Change

Soon I will start my last semester of college. It's a very weird feeling. In December I will be graduating, late but finally graduating. I don't have a plan after December. I'm very Type A, I don't go with the flow. But for once, I'm okay with not knowing what I'm going to do.

Matthew 6:34 says: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." God instructs us to not worry. He tells us to focus on each day, one day at a time. Yet so many of us forget this.

I used to dance. In dancing you have to follow the music. Music is always changing. You probably wouldn't listen to a song if it just did the same thing over and over. It's the change that you want to listen to, that you look forward to.

If we look forward to change in music, why can't we look forward to the changes in our lives? So many people, myself included, are worrying about the future and what tomorrow holds. We have so much anxiety that we forget to enjoy what is going on around us.

Jeremiah 29:11 says: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Knowing that God has my life in his hands is an awesome feeling. The fact that he knows everything that's going to happen and has reasoning behind it is hard to fathom but I believe it to be true.

I'm constantly having to remind myself of the changing music, and to look forward to the changes in my life. I can't grow if I stay here. I'm constantly in prayer. I'm constantly leaning on God for more understanding. Listen to the music, and follow it.

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.
