What Vegas Taught Me

"Las Vegas is a 24-hour city. It never stops."

What Vegas Taught Me

Reflecting on the weekend that I had, I have learned some new life lessons, thanks to Las Vegas and my best friends. I spent Wednesday though Sunday in Nevada and I came to find out that the city is not for me. Large crowds, and half naked people make me nervous and overwhelmed. I wanted to write this article to reflect and share some of the memories with friends and family about my trip, so here it is:

1. I turned 21 last week, and I feel no different other than the fact that I can LEGALLY drink! I still feel like a teenager who is trying to find their place in life.

2. I saw a lot of strange people. From Elvis, to a naked 78 year old man dressed as a baby, strange.3. I zip-lined through Fremont Street, and I found out that I love heights even more than I thought. Next time I go, I want to zip-line from the Rio Hotel, which is 50 stories tall :)

4. I don't like to gamble. I gambled on the way home from the airport and lost five dollars. I felt sad that I will never get those five dollars back, ever again.

5. There are so many beautiful buildings in Vegas. My favorite was inside the Bellagio Resort with all of the flowers and sculptures.

6. Being in Vegas during night time is very different than being in Vegas during the day. Waking up and looking outside to see the desert is very contradicting because at night, the state is nothing but a huge party.

7. My moms and her friends are the funniest people alive, along with Hayley of course. I have never laughed so hard in my life until I was with these woman! Thanks again for great trip. P.S. They can still party, trust me.

8. A man free styled about me and it was one of my favorite memories of the trip.

9. No matter what type of shoes you wear, your feet will always end up hurting.

10. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas is a real saying ;)

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
