Ten Things About Spring Break

Spring break is a great escape

Spring Break has finally arrived, and now that it's here I'm having realizations.

1. You end up going home:

Me and my college friends all said we would go off together for Spring Break, but in the end, we all were called to go home by our parents.

2. You actually do stuff for Spring Break:

Back in High school spring break meant long nights and late morning, but since I'm in College my family actually wants me to do stuff. For example going to college.

3. It feels like I was never away and that I'm never going to leave:

Something about being home makes me feel like I never left. It probably has to do with my siblings treating me like I was never gone, to begin with.

4. It Lowkey feels like Christmas Vacation:

This one probably only applies to Florida, but this temperature really makes me feel like it's Christmas vacation.

5. Your parents keep asking about classes:

No matter what I end up doing it always leads back to, "How are your classes going."

6. You're a bit sick:

The one thing about Spring is that it breeds sickness, so chances are you are, about to be, or getting over being sick.

7. You get to sleep in:

Spring Break really means catching up on all the sleep you've been since you've been back to school.

8. You miss your friends the second you leave:

It's only the first day, but I already miss my college friends. They are basically family now, and I hate not seeing them every day.

9. You get to see your old friends:

The good thing about being home from College is that I get to see my main friend fam. It's great getting to catch up with all the people I've been missing.

10. You also see people you never liked:

The one thing about being home is when I go to the mall and run into people I never actually liked from high school. It may be teacher or people you were forced to have classes with.

In the end, Spring Break is a great escape from classes. Going straight through 14 weeks is rough and this little Break came just in time.( I will say my school was sneaky and made my Spring Break a week after everyone else's, but there is not much I can do about that.)

However, towards the end I'm going to be ready to jump back into school and see all the people I have to go an entire week without.(It's really not that bad but it feels like a centry.)

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

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.
