What I Miss About Being A Child

Growing up really isn't as fun as I thought it would be.

What I Miss About Being A Child
Blogspot

As a child, I couldn't wait to grow up. For some reason, having a car and a job and being in college sounded so appealing. However, now that I'm here, I'm starting to realize that being older isn't all that it was hyped up to be and adulting is not as fun as I was expecting. I miss a lot about my childhood, but here are a few things I miss the most.

1. Not having endless amounts of homework.


2. Being entertained by the smallest things.

3. Not having to worry about money.

4. I didn't have to worry about what I wore.

5. I could sleep as much as I wanted.

6. I didn't know what make-up was.

7. I had perfect skin.

8. I somehow knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life.

9. I could eat whatever I want.

10. The biggest drama was over issues on the playground at school.

11. I wasn't worried about failing a class because I just couldn't stay up any later trying to complete an assignment.

12. My mom did my laundry.

13. I didn't have to worry about buying my own food.

14. Social media wasn't even a thing in my little world.

15. Not having to deal with terrible drivers.

16. Not knowing what bills were and that some day I would have to pay them.

17. Seeing the best in the people of the world.

18. Ice cream in class every Friday.

19. Naps during school.

20. Not having to work.

21. Good cartoons.

22. The birthday parties.

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.

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.
