The one.

Everyone wants to find that perfect person to make their life-long partner. Sometimes you can find them very early in life at a young age. Other times you find them down the road later in life. Either fine, but sometimes even though you may think you have found that "Mr. or Mrs. Right" doesn't mean it's always the right time.

Finding someone who you truly care and love for at a young age can be a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because you know how it feels to genuinely love someone as a significant other. At the same time, though, it could be a curse because maybe you're both not ready for a full commitment due to having a lot more life to live and a lot more growing up to do.

Same goes for if you find that someone later on in life. Though it is expected that we're supposed to know what we want in life by the time you're done with high school or college, not everyone does. So, sometimes there are individuals who literally don't know what they actually want till they're forty, and that's fine too.

"Soul mates? I think they exist. Just not always romantically" -anonymous. I believe in soul mates, but not everyone does. My belief is that every single person in this world was made to match with someone. Whether that be a man and a girl, a man and a man, or a girl and a girl, it doesn't matter. It all depends on what you believe. Maybe it isn't always romantically, it could always just be more of a friendship than anything.

If someone comes into your life and they literally do everything for you and you do the same for them, but then down the road you two take a break, that doesn't necessarily mean it's over. Who knows, maybe one day the two of you will meet paths again? Or if you both really care for one another the cycle could happen all over again and again and again. It's the stuff like this where it makes me believe we're all meant to be with a specific person.

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.
