Relationships

There's only one thing certain: we are getting married. I am done with dating boys who don't see my worth and/or see a future with me.

I am done with boys who make me a second priority and who put my happiness on the back burner.

In the past, I have been cheated on, lied to, and ultimately... emotionally scarred.

I'm sorry if I flinch when you raise your hand to swat at a gnat. I'm sorry if I cry when your voice is louder than usual.

I'm sorry if I ask you 100 times a day if you still even like me. I'm sorry if I text you "miss you" at random times.

I'm sorry if there are days where I don't seem like myself. I'm sorry if I don't take your joke the way you meant it. I'm sorry if I question certain things you do.

Let me make one thing clear: it is not you, it is definitely me. I will get better with time.

Apparently, every single boy that I have ever dated just doesn't understand the definition of trust.

I know it isn't your responsibility to carry my baggage or to fix my past issues that have turned into present issues.

You do not have to pick up my pieces. I am healing myself by myself. While healing, that does not mean I am going to put my life on hold. I can heal, learn, and love at the same time.

Please bear with me. You are obviously very special if I chose to begin a relationship with you. Boys are confusing as Hell, which is why I need a man.

Anyway, I cannot wait until our wedding and my favorite flowers are daisies, preferably pink.

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.
