The 5 Stages Of Sitting In Atlanta Rush Hour, As Told By The Cast Of 'New Girl'

If you live in, around, or even near the city of Atlanta, there is one thing you have in common with the people you live around: you HATE rush hour. Hours and hours of simply sitting in the car, just trying to get home from work, a trip, or whatever you chose to do that day, are what you dread most in life. Here are the five stages of sitting through rush traffic as told by the cast of "New Girl"!

Denial

Giphy

You get off the exit and see the pool of cars, back to back, not even moving an inch... it can't be real. Can it?

Anger

Giphy

Now you are in that pool of cars, looking around at all the people around you wondering why they all decided to go the exact same way as you and the rest of the entire city.

Bargaining

Giphy

We have reached the point where you are looking around at the surrounding cars thinking: "OK, guys, let's all work together!! If you can just let me in then we will all be one step closer to getting where we need to go!"

Depression

Giphy

Now you are thinking about how you never asked for this and would give anything to be out of that dang car!

Acceptance

Giphy

You have finally reached the point where you know there is nothing you can do to make this better, so why not turn up your music and enjoy some quality "me-time."

Rush hour is never fun, but going through it is worthwhile when you finally reach your destination, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.
