Why I Didn't Want To Write An Article This Week

Sometimes, I simply don't want to do the things I know I should.

Why I Didn't Want To Write An Article This Week
Mamas Health

Don't get me wrong, I love writing, but sometimes my brain just won't let me do it. Yesterday, my computer wouldn't cooperate, and this morning, I'm void of all creativity. I'm exhausted. I work nonstop with an inconsistent schedule, and I just moved into a new apartment.

I have been unpacking boxes for the past few days while also trying to make the apartment cute. I'm trying to make it clean enough to not be complained to while also getting the things I actually need to get done accomplished.

My one year anniversary is coming up. (By the time this posts it will have already happened.) I have to get a cute outfit and get my nails, hair, and eyebrows done. I also have to buy more things for this apartment because it seems that no matter how much I have, it's never enough, regardless of if it is by my standards.

You probably don't care. I don't blame you.

Why even submit an article then? Well, if you must know, my life is a never ending cycle of unexpected and usually annoying events occurring, so I feel that at this point, I should be more than able to at least write something, no matter how hectic my week has been.

There are things we feel we must accomplish in a week to have had a productive one, and this is one of mine. If I can keep my apartment clean, get to work on time, and write an article, I feel as if my week has been at least what it should be, regardless of how easy all of those things may seem to accomplish.

Look, I'm probably boring you right now, so maybe I should throw out a moral of some sort so that you at least find some purpose in reading this piece of garbage. Life kind of sucks, in case you haven't noticed yet; however, it's also kind of awesome.

I have a brand new apartment that is eons better than the last one, but moving into it is more of a pain than I wish it were. I have a job that pays me well for the small amount of things I have to do, but sometimes I just don't want to get up to go to it. I have the amazing opportunity to write articles that some people actually care to read, but weeks like these, I lack the creative energy to get anything worth reading down.

I guess the point here is, don't get yourself down if you feel like you should be able to do the amount of things on your to-do list but you simply can't. I can't always do it either, and everyone else is the same way, no matter how they may portray themselves.

Don't get yourself down. Either don't do it, or simply half-ass it, like I'm doing right now.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
