Shame on you.

A Letter To The Cowardly Women Who Falsely Report Sexual Assaults, We Don't Support You

To those girls that I shouldn't even call women because they don't act like one, here's a piece of my mind.

In what right mind do you think that it is acceptable to ruin a woman's/man's life by falsely accusing them of sexual assault? You are not only hurting the men/women, but you are hurting the victim population while you do it. I hope that sticks in your brain.

Shame on you. Shame on you for completely setting back the progress we've made with the #MeToo movement and embarrassing those individuals who have been so brave to come forward and tell their valid sexual assault stories.

Do you realize the weight that this puts on the accused? To have to go to court and face a great number of people for something that they did not do? But of course, you're probably one of the first to say that "men/women are trash." No, actually you are.

The lives you would be hurting in the process, the opportunities that will go to waste, and don't even get me started on the reputation!

To actually lie and say you are a "victim" of sexual assault is sickening. Being a victim isn't cool, it is not glamorous. It's an internal fight that we battle with each and every day, one that also comes and goes. You don't want to be a sexual assault victim.

By all means, you are a coward. You didn't know how to approach a situation so the first thing you do is to create this big, disastrous lie?

Congratulations, you are wasting your sweet time crafting this nonsense while hurting so many people in the process. Do you realize how damaging this is to relationships and friendships? I am sure you don't.

Next time you think about making up such a ridiculous lie, I hope that you know that what you're doing is almost unforgivable.

Sincerely,

The strong women who respect what it means to be female.

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.
