Stop Giving Me Relationship Advice When I’m Not Asking For It

To the people who think they’re giving helpful advice when not asked: STOP!

We all have that one friend, family member, or even acquaintance who just always seems to be in our business. They always want to know if there’s any drama in our life instead of worrying about themselves. Too many times girls have tried to give me relationship advice, acting like they know my relationship better than I do, and frankly, I’m over it.

I love a little gossip occasionally (who doesn’t?). I want to know what you and your boyfriend have been up to, and I will gladly share what I’ve been up to with mine. However, a line needs to be drawn when you start criticizing me and judging my relationship. I’m all for improving my relationship and learning ways to do so, but sometimes I don’t want your opinion, nor did I ask for it.

I’m not sure how me talking about things we've done leads to you analyzing my whole life and relationship, but I’m done listening.

In the beginning, I used to take the advice. But the only place that left me was in a heated argument with my boyfriend. Why? Because you don’t know anything about my relationship.

Every relationship is different and every couple has different things that work for them. That’s what makes things interesting. But when you’re too concerned about how my relationship is doing rather than focusing on your own, we have an issue.

Girls, stop judging other girls for every little decision they make in their relationship. Chances are, you do the exact same thing, and in my case, you're doing things even worse. So please, worry about your own problems.

I’m not saying I don’t want to talk about my relationship, we’re girls it’s what we do. All I’m saying is stop acting like your relationship is better than mine, and stop “advising” me about things when you not only don’t know the full story, but don’t know my relationship.

Sincerely,

All girls in relationships

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.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.
