15 Reasons Why Being A Romantic is Problematic

Being a romantic is great – being hyperaware of chemistry building between two people, you have so many great movie options, and all of the OTPs. It also hurts. These are reasons why it hurts.

1. If you have one thing in common, you have lived the same life.

"Wait, you like that wildly famous and will go down in history movie, too? We are basically the same person."

2. You get weird.

^ Remembering that weird thing you said to your crush earlier in the day.

3. You get nervous.

"Ums" and "uhs" are the openings and closers of every conversation.

4. You are kind of an open book.


This is you trying to play it cool.

5. You get excited about the littlest things.

Nope. My bad. His hand just twitched.

6. Everything means something.

You look into the smallest things that they do and try to analyze every one of them.

7. You tend to get over dramatic.

I neeeeeeed you. You are Team No Chill.

8. The future.

Thinking about how beautiful your kids would look like isn't off limits.

9. You turn to the internet.

Google searching "does a guy flirting with other girls in front of me means he likes me?" or just "soul mates?" Google doesn't know.

10. Horoscopes.

11. You can't really handle rejection.

12. This is basically your worst fear.

13. You might believe that the universe is giving you signs.

14. Love at first sight.

*Sees attractive stranger* This is it. This is what I'm going to wake up next to every morning.

15. You only want them.

Every birthday candle, 11:11, shooting star, and prayer is you wishing that somehow you guys can be together.

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.
