Do I have it all?

The Secret To Having It All

Do I have it all? heck yeah, I do. Do you have it all? HECK YEAH, YOU DO!

However, if you don't believe me, I understand...but keep reading. If you don't think you have it all, hopefully I can teach you how to get it all, or how to realize you've already got it with 7 simple tips...

1. Don't compare your successes to another person's successes. Set personal goals based off of things you genuinely want to achieve, not based off of what the people around you are doing.

2. Realize you have to experience failure at least once before you succeed.

3. Don't go straight for the big guns! Start small, and gradually grow bigger. Let's face it..to some extent, we all started from the bottom.

4. Stop talking, start doing. You're not getting anything done by just talking about it. Actions do speak louder than words!

5. Get out of your comfort zone and experience new horizons! Try taking a step towards that amazing dream that's been in the back of your mind for months, even years.

6. Have faith in yourself.

7. Lastly, the secret to having it all is realizing you already do. Take in everything you currently have, remind yourself of everything you are grateful for and realize you do have it all. And you, most certainly, can have more.


With that being said, I just want everyone to know that this can apply to anything: college, gym, your job, or just your daily life in general.

Also, this article was inspired by the cute shirt I bought from Old Navy two days ago. Thanks, Old Navy.

With Love,

Calee

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

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.
