It's OK To Stop Asking Friends To Hang Out If You're Always The One Asking

If you're one of those people that are always asking your friends if they wanna hang out but it's never reciprocated its OK to just stop asking.

Because it's not fair to you, it makes you feel like they aren't as invested in your friendship as you are and you deserve to have friends that are there for you and that want to put the effort into the friendship just as much as you do! It shows that they may be just don't care anymore.

The phone works both ways, you can't say you miss me when you don't call or text me!

Honestly, your friends can be super busy, but if you find the time in your equally busy schedule to see them than they can do the same. You deserve friends who will support you and want to be around you. After a while you feel like do they even want to hang out with me, you start to question everything.

It's OK to just see what happens if you don't talk to them for a while, if they start calling you then maybe they do care but if they don't then you will know you made the right decision.

We all know that life can get in the way sometimes but that's when you have to make the most effort because then you start to grow apart but if you really want to keep the friendship you put in the effort. It's not like you have to talk every day but just to ask to hang out every once in a while, just grab a coffee. It's the little gestures that mean the most.

In the end, people just want to feel like you want to be there friend just as much as the wanna be yours.

As childish as that sounds, friends are important and if you don't feel like your friendship is a two-way street, it's OK to end it.

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.
