Twenty reminders for your twenties.....

You are not your raising..... we all come from a little crazy

Taylor A Eastwood

Jun 26, 2020

1. Go to that one college you worked so hard to get into. Do not chase the familiar.

2. Take that one job you swore you never would. I bet it ends up exactly how you never imagined.

3. You are not your raising. There is not one family on this earth that is 'normal' by any means. We all come from a little crazy.

4. That first big break up is exactly what it sounds like – a break up. Let it go and let it be. The longer you continue to tug on that string, the longer it'll take to heal. I promise you, you will survive.

5. Build a strong support system. You will need one.

6. I know you love hard but do not give your heart to every guy who tries to take it. Guard it and give it to the one who deserves it. You will know.

7. If he is married, he ain't leaving. They rarely do.

8. It's okay to cry and it's okay to be sad. Let it out and then pick yourself up. You are stronger than you think.

9. Take care of you – mentally. Mental health should come before physical. If you aren't right in the head, the rest won't matter.

10. So you gained a pound? There are far worst things and trust me, no one is watching.

11. It is okay to start over. Move to that one town you've had your heart set on. Don't let anyone hold you back.

12. Enjoy living alone – you never know when that one person will enter your life and become your forever roommate. Soak this up.

13. Pray. Pray. Pray. At the end of the day, HE is the only one that will never leave your side. He loves you. He hears you. He will guide you.

14. Always, always trust your intuition. It almost never lies.

15. Do not compare yourself to another female. God made each of us unique for a reason. You are beautiful. You are smart. You are worthy.

16. Remember, no one will ever love you like you love you.

17. Let go of the friendship that you never thought you'd lose. People change and people outgrow. Embrace what it was and move forward.

18. It's okay if your group of friends are small. You do not need 15 best friends. You'll survive with three.

19. Laugh at what life throws your way. Do not take it so seriously.

20. Most importantly, chase your dreams - wherever they may take you and whatever they may be. You have a purpose and it is your job to find out what that is. Enjoy it.

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.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
