Winter break is on it's way out and school is coming back to a start. For people with anxiety, this can be a very difficult time. You're going from being with family and seeing only close friends to going back to school with a large amount of people around at all times. Leaving the quietness of your home could make you anxious on it's own. Here are some tips on how to make yourself more comfortable once you get back to school.

1. Go to bed as early as you can

Being around people is rough for people with social anxieties or anxiety in general. I tend to sleep earlier when I'm at school than when I'm at home. Most people find it strange since you should have more of a reason to stay up at school but for me it's the opposite. If you're having anxiety about your sleep schedule or are having trouble getting a good amount of sleep, try to sleep earlier than usual.

2. Nap when you need to

If you feel tired, you nap. Don't hold back because you're afraid of missing out or you feel like you're wasting your day. There is no problem with sleeping when you need to.

3. Listen to your body

Overall, an article can't tell you what is best for you. Know your limits and strengths and do what you need to to make yourself feel better.

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.

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.
