Spooky Season: Monsters

We all have our monsters

Spooky Season: Monsters


We all have monsters under our beds. They are trouble, they run through our heads. We all have dreams that haunt us so deep. Those Monsters come out and creep us, uneasily. The monsters we once loved, cared for, and cherished, make us feel scared and alone. They were once our home.

I know we all have monsters, I have monsters, he doesn't look scary. My monster is a guy who I once wanted to marry. He once loved me but turned cold when he realised he couldn't give me what I always deserved. Monsters are lovable and sometimes funny, my monster was all of that just he lacked in caring.

Do you have a monster, did he once love you too? Did you make you feel so very special as well or did he drowns the life out of your shell? Did he holds your hand and it felt so cold like a ghost that you thought you once grew to know? I bet he was handsome, he looked like a model, but now he's a monster, and that's the only look that truly matters.

Are you afraid of the dark? Do you check under your bed? Are you okay being alone? Does he pop into your head. It's okay to be scared and those terrors do go away, the monsters in your head don't always stay, they fade.

Close your eyes, sweet girl. Get some rest. The monster is gone, and you are back.

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.
