Album: So Wrong Its Right
Artist: All Time Low
Record Label: Hopeless Records

The second album released by Maryland quartet All Time Low did little to rewrite the genre of pop-punk; however, despite mixed reviews, So Wrong, It’s Right is one of the most important albums in the bands history. Overall the album can be considered as generic, often compared to old school New Found Glory. If the album is considered so generic, how then can it be so important? The answer lies in the songs: Remembering Sunday, and Dear Maria, Count Me In. Both songs have been very well received by fans ranking in the top 5 (#5 and #1 respectively) on the bands Spotify page. Both songs have also been featured on their documentaries Straight to DVD & Straight to DVD II. Remembering Sunday itself has featured both Juliet Simms (Automatic Loveletter) & Cassidy Pope (Formerly of Hey Monday). The song is an acoustic ballad written by frontman Alex Gaskarth while on the plane home from seeing a girl(The same one talked about in their song Vegas) & how the visit didn’t go very well. Dear Maria, on the other hand, is one of the fastest track on the album. Written about a stripper, this high energy song has been widely accepted as the track that propelled them to success (the song also functions as their encore during live performances). In addition to featuring on both versions of Straight to DVD, Dear Maria has made appearances on their Live Sessions EP and has been covered numerous times, most notably by artists such as Story Untold (AMASIC), Patty Walters (As It Is), & Neck Deep. Dear Maria is also the only song in the bands discography to be certified as Platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). While not the most commercially successful All Time Low Album, So Wrong laid the groundwork for the bands current success and cemented itself as one of their most important bodies of work.

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.
