True happiness in this life is when you find what contains you and you feel a sense of growth.I have found my own world in which my soul is refreshed every time I escape from this painful reality, in which I feel that I am not another person, here I remove all my masks and I do not care about anything but me.Here I bloom as if I have returned to an innocent child who only cares about her pleasure. Everything makes me happy in this area as if everything is mine.

And the good thing is that no one can take it away from me, it is mine and I made it myself. Every time life hits me with slaps, I only find myself here fighting myself to get over it, and that it is something that I absolutely do not deserve to care about, and if it does, it is only for two minutes, no more. In times of my brokenness, I have recovered here. And the personality that lives there, so I prepared it myself in order to be the best listener for me and the emotional vessel that I wish for me. It's upside down, my dear.

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.
