Listening to Christmas music doesn't mean skipping Thanksgiving

The endless fall feud between Thanksgiving and Christmas rages on each year, almost instantly after Halloween. Both holidays are meant to be celebrated in big ways. However, I believe it's never too early to start listening to Christmas music. This doesn't mean I'm completely skipping over Thanksgiving either. But come on, have you ever actually made an entire playlist of Thanksgiving music?

Christmas music is meant to make you sing along as loud as you can, and force you to smile the entire time while doing it. In my opinion, as long as it makes you happy, I think you should sing Christmas music in April. After all, if it makes you happy, why not sing it for as long as you can?

Some of my favorites from recent years include Justin Bieber, Michael Buble and Pentatonix. Although you can never forget about Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby," Wham's "Last Christmas," or Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas."

Why not get ready for Christmas early? Getting into the Christmas spirit makes everyone happy and gives you the perfect reason to decorate your house as much as you possibly can. How could you not be happy singing along to your favorite Christmas songs while looking at hundreds of lights?

Skipping over Thanksgiving is still out of the question. Shoving as much food into your face as possible then pretty much staying up all night to shop for Black Friday should never be something to skip over!

Overall, celebrating both holidays for the next two months sounds pretty good to me. Both holidays give you time to spend with your family and bring endless joy to everyone in many ways. So go ahead, eat your turkey and sing Jingle Bells as loud as you can. Spread the Christmas spirit and make everyone around you just as happy as you are!

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.

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.
