When you really start connecting with someone, it really makes you start wondering. Are you guys "talking"? Are you guys exclusive? It's always awkward trying to not over step boundaries. Guys give off little signs that make it known if he's actually into you or if he's just messing around. On the other hand, if he bounces back and forth from showing/ not showing these signs, then he's not interested and it's time to move on.

1. Texting

Believe it or not, texting (communicating via phone) is super important in any relationship. Yes to the guys reading this, you don't always have to text first. Girls, it always starts out with the first conversation being started through the phone. If he can go days with out contacting you, he's not into you. If he's really considering anything further with you, he will want to talk to you a lot of the time. As he's texting you, what is his emoji choice? Is he sending smiley faces, or eggplant emojis with a smirk emoji? I don't need to explain that point.. but trust me when I say that emojis are important.

2. Hanging Out

Once you guys start texting consistently, next step is for one of you to ask to hang out. Right there you'll see if you're just someone to talk to or someone he actually wants to see. Typically if a guy makes an excuse or two, you let him off the hook. If he is continuously making excuses each time you guys make plans, he's not into you. There is no need to pressure a douche bag into hanging out with you if he's just not into it. Start giving him short replies and he will slowly fade away.

3. Seeing Him Out In Public

Once you have step one and two down, you're pretty much making your way towards the "talking" scene. The only thing that can bring the vibes down is seeing how he acts at a party/bar in front of other girls and his friends. This is probably the most important stage. No girl wants a guy to be sweet behind closed doors, and in public act like she doesn't exist. See how he goes up to you. Is he being flirty and touchy, or is he being short and awkward? No one wants to have feelings for a guy who wont even acknowledge their presence. If he just says hi then continues to go off and do his own thing, he's not that into you. A guy that digs you will pretty much give you most of his attention out in public and treat you like he has feelings for you.

These are the tree main stages in beginning a relationship. Once you stat hanging out, and he makes you his priority, congrats! You've now have moved on from the last person you were with, and now beginning a new relationship. Don't get discouraged by a guy not giving you that attention you want. Find someone new, because all guys aren't the same.

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.
