What Life Should Be
TruthTheory

The question that is asked by most, if not all, people is “what should I being doing with my life?” Well, quite frankly, there is no true answer. Life is what you make it by making choices to do or don’t do things. I believe life should be adventurous, be filled with laughter and love, and simply, be happy.

Life should be adventurous. No one just wants to sit around all day long, doing nothing and being bored out of their minds. At least, most people wouldn’t want that. Sometimes money is tight, that feeling is known widely. There are plenty of places to go that can get you out of your normal settings. Such as going on a picnic in the park with friends or family, going to a zoo to look at all the different types of exotic animals, and even going swimming in a lake or a swimming pool, of your choice. These options are limitless. Explore, it definitely makes life worthwhile, and getting to spend it with people you love just makes it so much more worth it.

Laughter and love should always be a part of life. All types of stories bring up memories that were, and still are, filled with love and laughter. It could be remembering all the good times with those who have passed away, or just silly stories from any time at all. Laughing and having good times makes more memories that can be told for many, many years. Spending time with loved ones makes memories that can be shared over and over again. Just think, life could be so different if certain people weren’t in your life.

Simply, life should be happy. You shouldn’t have to make your life miserable to suit someone else. Happiness comes in different ways, but finding what makes you truly happy is the most important thing. Do things that make you happy, whether others approve of it or not. It is your own life, live it to the fullest.

Life should be filled with laughter, love, adventures and happiness. Having people to share it with makes it worthwhile.

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.
