To Love and to Be Loved

As we grow from a child to an adolescence we begin to realize what it should be like to love and to be loved. As an adolescence, we go through a series of relationships that show us what love really is and what it is not, sometimes what is taken for granted, sometimes what we forgot. When you're i n a relationship make sure you are with someone who makes you happy, you makes you feel good about yourself. Make sure it's someone who motivates you, encourages you, reassures you, and is there for you when you need them. Now we must understand it's obviously hard to find people like and on top of that makes sure you like and accept them as they are. You want to have some things in common and share secrets, but mostly laughs and lots of love. The most important thing of all is when you are with someone who loves you and you love them, don't let go.

Do not give up on them because of what is going on, you have to remind yourself why you started dating in the first place or why you said "I love you." I believe if you truly someone you will never give up on them no matter what the conditions are. When you really love someone, you won't ever stop loving them. True love does exists we must realize we love with our free will. We love a significant other because we want to not because we have to.

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.
