Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live

Because living is the whole idea...

Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live
cocoparisienne

I have to say that people who live their life regardless of what people think or say have the right idea.

It feels impossible and definitely has a "too good to be true" ring to it. Living life how you want without letting anyone else impact it. Seems simple enough right? Wrong.

There are a plethora of people in this world that alter their behavior because "someone might hear me or see me." Which is pretty much a fear-filled approach to life. Instead why not try to unashamedly live life as yourself? Was there an instance where wanted to sing, but couldn't find your voice because the popular people were too close? Have you ever wanted to be friends with someone who the rest of your friends hated with a burning passion, so you walked away? How did you feel after that?

Think about it. How often do you spend more time over analyzing a situation before acting upon it? How many times did you not talk to someone or ask them out because you did not want to show that you are in fact human? How often have you imitated life instead of just lived it? I am just as guilty of it. In fact, I'm probably one of the biggest offenders.

I have lost friends, in more ways than one. I am full of regret for things I didn't say. But those situations gave me the best gift, a reminder to live my life every day. Not necessarily to live a "big" life, but just to live it.

Live your life, because you never know what your last moment with someone will be. Make the move, steal the kiss (with consent people), walk in your graduation ceremony, book the trip of your lifetime. Just do it. Because there are so many people will never have that opportunity again.

Whatever the mountain is that you have been too frightened to climb, scale it. If you fall, then fall. But get up and try it again. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for the those who will never have the courage to try.

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.

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.
