For The Nerds That Actually Like School Like Me

When you go on a holiday break and you feel like your life is coming apart? Like honestly "what is there to do!? More like education and school, it's a must to survive in this world. Where you feel like assignments, planners, deadlines and due dates are the way to look forward to. This is the way you feel accomplished in life. If so, I am with you in this.

I am so excited that classes started already! So much happiness within me, that the Spring 2019 semester started. This holiday break was extremely long and boring, and, in all honesty, I did not know what to do with my life. I was counting down that days for school to start already, but it was nice to get a break and see all my family.

Now that this semester has started as well as the New Year. I have set so many goals for me, such as in my education, personal and in my work life. Which it started good, I found out I made the Dean's List. Yay me! But this mindset of mine where I have this weird love for school started super late. I literally was super bad in my education when I was in high school nor miss those days at all. I barely graduated high school, and when my Senior year arrived, I was not even planning to attend college.

This just shows that anything is possible in life. Who, would of have thought that I will be in my third year of college, graduating with a bachelor's in Journalism and with two minors in Spanish and Creative Media Industries? Life is crazy and takes you where you least expect it. I am very happy with all the things I have accomplished and the obstacles I have overcome. From being a first-time generation student, as well as being an immigrant in the United States. Where I came not knowing a word of English. But I wake up every day, with the enthusiasm that I have another assignment to turn in or due date to meet.

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.
