The Day We Broke Up

My whole world changed in one day.

The Day We Broke Up

The Day we broke up,

I remember crying as I left your dorm

The Day we broke up,

My whole world felt like it was crashing down

The Day we broke up,

Everything became blurry and unreal. You were my world and now,

You were nothing.

The Morning after we broke up,

Puffy-eyed and heartbroken, I made a vow to end my life.

The one that you once controlled.

The Day after we broke up,

I realized all of your broken promises and lies were a reflection,

Of you not Me

The Day after we broke up,

I was reborn. I vowed to never let a silly, little boy have so much control over me

The Day after we broke up,

I quit chasing boys and began making time for myself

A Year after we broke up,

I have transformed into a new person.

Stronger, more resilient than ever before.

Saving everything meaningful to me and holding on to it tightly until,

the Man that God brings into my life is ready to help me carry it.

A Man who will actually love Me,

All of Me

When God says I am ready,

I will find the man who accepts me for me, Flaws included.

The Me,

That snorts when I laugh too hard,

The Me,

That is in love with the beauty of dying leaves and the smell of fresh cut hay.

The Me,

That is now able to see that I am and will always be,

Too good for you.

The Me,

That will never allow some silly, little boy, to control me

The Me,

That is the daughter of the One True King.

The Me,

That will walk with purpose and confidence

The Me,

That will no longer fall asleep with tears wetting my pillow

For when I wake, I will move mountains

The Day we broke up,

I thought my life was over

But little did I know that,

The Day we broke up,

Would become the best day of,

my life.

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.

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.
