To The Guy With A Girlfriend

"Let's just start by saying, you suck."

Let's just start by saying, you suck.

You suck for being a sucky boyfriend first and for most.

Just because I came before her doesn't give you an excuse.

You can't have your cake and eat it to.

Because of you, I know exactly who your girlfriend is or was. Mainly, because I have to look at her page to see if you're lying about your most recent break up. She is pretty, and skinny, and I envy her in every way. I envy her, because she has you, but you're so awful to her.

I know I shouldn't entertain you, but no one sees my side. They don't know how much you beg me, and pinky promise that you are single. Then I end up caving in, because I have feelings too. Just in time, for you guys to work everything out, and get back together: if you were ever even broken up at all.

It's just like clock work. As soon, as I fill the void that you left, you start trying to come back.

I get that it shouldn't be hard to ignore you, but it is. I haven't built my wall high enough just yet to keep you out. I shouldn't have to avoid someone I am so completely invested in, because I'm not their main priority. I'm not sure yet why I wasn't enough for you but I am constantly reminded of it rather it be your cute post about your appreciation and "love" for her or running into the both of you out at the bars. You're someone I can't hide from in this small town no matter how hard I try.

But from here on out, I hope you guys live a happy life. I pray that one day you become the amazing man she sees you as now. I hope you live up to every standard she thinks you're fulfilling already. I hope she never has to see the side of you that I have these past few months.

I truly hope you the best with or without her.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

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.

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.
