Why personality matters

Fun, after all, is the most attractive trait someone can have – more than looks, more than money or status or popularity.

Why personality matters
Kiersten Ulversoy

For as long as I can remember attraction has always been the biggest thing when it comes to finding that someone. Sure, someone can be extremely good looking but if they don't have a personality how long is that relationship really going to last? I get it, attraction is somewhat important and that's all some people focus on but in the end it's the personality that wins someone over. For me personality has always been a big thing when it comes to guys, and looks matter somewhat I'll admit, but more so the personality. If a guys humorous, smart, confident, witty, out going, and nice they have my attention. It's all about the mental connection more so than the physical. Yes, physical is important but you have to be able to really establish that bond, friendship, and interaction with one another. If it's only physical related then you got an unbalanced relationship going on.

If you're just wanting some fun or a one night stand then the attraction is the go to but if you're looking for your potential wife/ husband the personality may be the thing that gets you hooked. Men and women think differently when it comes to this topic, I'll agree.

Ladies, raise of hands for those who have seen at least a season or two of the bacherolette / bachelor. I mean, don't you always have your favorites while watching the season and seeing how everyone interacts and whether or not there's a connection or just physical connection? I mean it may be TV but still; body language and emotions don't lie. I swear, I could pin point half of the men or women on there that it was all about physical and not so much mental. If you don't have that mental connection and understanding or just bond you might as well just be hook up buddies if you ask me.

Everyone maybe different and that's okay. Everyone is allowed to have their own preference on what makes them attracted to someone, but I think we all know that the personality wins in the long run because everything else seems to decrease when looking for your mate. People should like someone for them not just the looks and whatever else comes with them. Give it a shot you may find your one.

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.
