An Open Letter To Everyone Who Hates The Summer Season And Wants Autumn Already

Dear everyone who hates the season of summer,

Summer is officially in full swing, and like you all, I'm already over it.

The heat gets unbearable, the rain is too frequent (although it's not always a bad thing), and all the bugs come out. Cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes; you name it, it's probably already made its seasonal appearance. UGH.

And I understand the frustration perfectly. I, too, have a large contempt for summer. Having lived in Florida for just about two decades now, I've grown to resent it more and more. The weather here can get ridiculously hot to the point where you're sweating within five minutes of stepping outside. If only the temperatures were cooler and the sun wasn't so blinding...

I'm honestly surprised the first day of summer isn't in May because that's when the dreaded hot weather really kicks off. Nonetheless, I'm already ready for autumn to come in and not only instill feelings of warmth and happiness but also bring back pumpkin-flavored everything. Including pie.

The worst part is that June is only the beginning of the long, dreadful, 10,000-degree-weather-filled season to come. And this is going on for three more months. So you'll know what I mean when I say I'm hibernating for the summer.

Luckily, just like it does every year, the summer season breezes by quickly. It may not be over yet, but before you know it it'll be the start of autumn, the start of all things pumpkin, and best of all; the start of all things HALLOWEEN ~~(also known as the best holiday of the year; I'm super biased but that's OK because it really is the best holiday of the year).~~.

Basically, summer just really sucks, and I totally understand your contempt. Even though putting on sunscreen when you go outside is absolutely smart, hiding indoors is a spectacular idea. I recommend waiting until September 30th to emerge from your hibernation so you can get ready for ~~Halloween 1st~~ October 1st (I totally meant Halloween 1st). That and the long-anticipated cooler weather will put you in a fantastic mood.

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
