The People's President

What will we do know that Obama is gone?

The People's President

It’s only a few days before we vote to put someone else in office. We will replace one of the greatest, if not the greatest president, with another not so great president. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Things will be so different. There will probably be no more sports teams to visit the White House. Chance the Rapper will probably vote to stay at home as opposed to traveling to the capital. Things will just be different. The people’s president will be gone.

There will be no more rapping with Lin-Manuel Miranda (another “rapper” that I love”). I won’t get to see his and Michelle’s love on the cover of magazines anymore and wish for a love like theirs one day. Things will just be different, and we need to prepare our minds, bodies and souls for it.

We are about to vote for our new leader for the next four years our lives. We need to make an educated decision based on what we believe in. Just know that your voices should be heard, even if you are not into politics (because I’m not). Your vote still matters, and someone fought for your vote to count. So don’t waste it, vote!

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
