Music is Joyous

Music is there a way of expression, a new to convey thoughts or feelings into a unique format. It’s simply not just words. It’s not usually just instruments. In many cases, it’s the combination of lyrics and music that conveys the feelings that people are feeling at certain moments.

It is really something else that we can subscribe certain memories or feelings onto different songs. In some cases, what we may be reminded of while listening to a particular song may not be what the original artist tried to convey. That is because certain things speak to certain people.

That joyful song? It could remind you of a lost one that you used to listen to it with. That's certainly not what the song was supposed to convey but that is fine.

We, the listeners, are the ones that make the songs meaningful in a lot of cases. And while most songs were written with something particular in mind, that is not always what comes across in these cases.

Some songs make you want to rock out. Others make you want to cry. Others make you want to break stuff. It’s all in the magic of music.

Listening to your playlist, nobody's else’s. Listening to the songs YOU enjoy, not what society tells you that you should like. That is something out there for everyone.

Don’t like any music? I’m sorry but I can’t help but feel sorry for you because of the joy that is listening to the music you love. I only hope that you have a similar feeling somewhere in your life.

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.
