Your Fitbit Addiction: 11 Moments We Can All Relate To

For the past 10 months or so, I have been a proud Fitbit owner (read: addict). Already a fairly active person, I hadn’t been looking for motivation to move more — just a pedometer that wouldn’t be so easy to drop in the toilet. For better or for worse, though, owning a Fitbit doesn’t just shape your body, it shapes your life. Try as you might to ignore the techie wristband, before you know it, you’ll be jogging around the apartment before bed trying to get in those last 50 steps. So for all of you fellow addicts out there, here are 11 moments all Fitbit fanatics can relate to.

1. You accidentally wore your Fitbit in the shower.

2. You reached your step goal for the day.

3. You live in a flat place and can never get enough stairs.

4. You went for a walk... and left your Fitbit on the charger.

5. Constantly knowing your step count, heart rate, and weight has started to influence your eating habits.

6. Today was your rest day, but your Fitbit just doesn't understand.

7. You saw how many steps you have for the day, and decided you've earned an extra serving... or three.

8. You've stopped bicycling or swimming so that you can get more steps.

9. You are a fitness god and your Fitbit says so.

10. You walked around Costco three times before you realize the Fitbit doesn't count steps if you're pushing a cart.

11. The wristband breaks, and you can’t remember how to live without a machine measuring your every movement.

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.

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.
