Any genuine person can agree that these are "trends" we must get over in the new year.

1. Men thinking they have control over women's choices

2. And their bodiesĀ 

3. Dress codesĀ 

4. Because our bodies (both men and women's) are a canvas and you can dress your canvas how you want toĀ 

5. Using the R-word like it's okayĀ 

6. Which it's not, no matter what context you use it inĀ 

7. Slut Shaming

8. Skinny or fat shaming

9. Judging others in generalĀ Ā 

10. For ANYTHINGĀ 

11. Such as the way they dressĀ 

12. The way that they talkĀ 

13. The way that they study or practice anything from religion to school work

14. Telling men that they aint shit

15. Because this isn't fair to menĀ 

16. And women wouldn't like it if men told them something similar in context

17. Because men and women are the shit

18. Cheating. Leave this in 2018.Ā 

19. From exams to your partner, leave your cheating trait behindĀ 

20. Shit-talking

21. Because this doesn't make anybody feel good about themselves

22. Lying

23. I shouldn't have to say anything more about this

24. The idea that people are objectsĀ 

25. Not just women, but every body

26. This includes immigrants

27. And our presidentĀ 

28. They are all people, not objects deserving of hate, assault, and cruelty

29. The idea that men and women are equalĀ 

30. Because we aren't

31. Our creator made women to do the things men can't do and men to do the things women can't doĀ 

31. Therefore, we are not equalĀ 

32. But we are equally useful and purposeful in society

33. The idea that children don't have a voice

34. Because they do, we just don't give them the chance to show it

35. The idea that anxiety and other mental disorders define a person

36. A good way to gain insight on this is to practice saying something such as "My son has depression" instead of "my depressed son"Ā 

47. This way you are not using someone's illness to literally define themĀ 

48. The idea that being nice costs nothing

49. Because it can cost you relationships and opportunities if you are "too nice"

50. And result in you getting usedĀ 

51. But, despite this, please be a nice person in 2019

52. The general idea that you are not worthyĀ 

53. Because I promise you, you areĀ 

54. The idea that fresh starts have to wait until MondayĀ 

55. Because a fresh start, starts today

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?
