Yes, You Should Take That Vacation

There's nothing more I want to do than travel the world. I truly think everyone should travel. Yes, that means you, your parents, your grandmother, even your friends. It is never too late to go on a vacation! If you're unable to travel by plane, then take a road trip. What's more fun than a vacation? You get to see new things, and learn a lot about yourself.

A lot of people think that they aren't meant to travel. Some are afraid to take a vacation because they don't want to mess up their career, or upset their boss. A common question that people have is, what if I because I'm going on vacation I'll mess my career up, and can't get a new one when I get back? Honestly, I'm here to tell you that will NEVER happen. You'll still have a job when you return, and if you let your boss know in advance that you're going away there won't be any issues.

Some people are worried about the price of traveling. Can I afford a vacation? That's what goes through a lot of people's minds, and they usually think they can't afford one and don't go. As someone that travels multiple times a year, depending on what you do, where you're going, and where you're staying vacations aren't that costly.

You don't have to be rich to travel well. Travel is never a matter a money, but of courage. You are so worth a vacation, and the price shouldn't deter you from going. If I'm being honest, the memories you make from these vacations are priceless. You get to keep those memories and pictures forever.

There are countless benefits of traveling. You get to meet new people, which is always fun because of the friendships you'll make. You get experience life a different way. You get a mental and physical break from your everyday life. You get to be part of a new culture, and try new food. Traveling makes you a more interesting person because you'll make all these amazing memories and people will love to hear them.

Ultimately, traveling will change you. Do yourself a favor and take a vacation this year. You owe it to yourself.

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.

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.

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.
