The Best Parts About The Fall

Cool weather and orange leaves

The Fall season is a really special time of the year. The weather starts to get colder, the leaves change color and we start putting pumpkin flavor in just about everything. Fall is packed with a ton of events and activities that definitely shouldn’t be missed, so today I’d like to talk about just a few of my favorite things about the season.

One of the coolest parts of the Fall is all of the different treats. Pumpkin themed desserts are definitely the most popular during this time of the year, and while I’m not as big on them as many others, I still love the little orange gourds. Personally, I prefer my pumpkin flavor to be a little more subtle, with just enough to let me know that it’s there. My favorites are pumpkin pie (even though it’s not as good as sweet potato pie), and pumpkin spice Oreos. I know that last one probably sounds a bit weird, but they are actually really good!

I love the Summer months and the activities that happen during them just as much as the next person. However, when it comes to clothes, I love the warmer attire of the Fall. I love wearing jeans, hoodies, long sleeve henleys and sweaters, and there’s no better time than the Fall to break these things out. These types of clothes make enjoying the Fall weather much more enjoyable. The change in weather gives way to an abundance of oranges and browns outside, and there aren’t many things I love more than taking a nice little stroll outside.

How could I talk about the Fall without mentioning Halloween? Second to Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love watching scary movies, seeing all of the awesome costumes and going trick or treating (at least when I was younger). But most of all, I love eating all of the Halloween themed desserts. Candy corn, dirt cake, ghostly marshmallows, candy apples, these are just a few of the special treats that are associated with the spooky holiday.

There’s a lot to love about the Fall. From the cool weather to the fun treats, there are plenty of opportunities to have fun during this time of the year.

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.

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.

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.
