Take a break from your life and experience some exciting night sky events.

Look Up at The Stars
hutui6.com

This month there's going to be plenty to look at in the night’s sky. On November 5th you will be able to see Mars next to the moon. On November 11th there will be a meteor shower, followed by a super-duper moon on November 14th along with many other things (see linked article to learn more about these events). Its fairly rare to have so many things happening in such a short time span so all of you out there who are looking for something to do, look no further than the stars.

This could be your chance to bond with some friends, take that special someone out on a date, or even kick back with a beer and just gaze up at the vastness of the universe. Too often we forget to see the bigger picture in that we are just human beings on a not so big rock starring in the epic roles of our own small lives. Its time to break out of our habits, if not just for a night, and let another star shine (pun intended). You never know, you could end up liking looking up there and maybe turn it into your hobby. Perhaps you're an artist and you’ll get inspired or a writer who writes about what's beyond the stars. Or maybe you’re just some stressed out college student like me, who believes that maybe, if I think about what is out there, and just how big and beautiful it is, I can not only cope with my small, everyday stressors, but also find the beauty in the life I lead. So checkout whats going on this month, take a look up at the sky as you’re walking home, or simply search the sky for constellations. You don’t want to miss out, so you better start now!

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
