As I'm writing this, I am irritated. I am irritated at the way people treat others, and I am more irritated at the fact it even has to be addressed, Listen, I get it. I know that there are people in this world that are going to drive you crazy. There are people in this world that you aren't going to like, and they aren't going to like you. But this gives you absolutely no right to treat people like they don't deserve respect. Just imagine what kind of world we would live in if girls didn't go out of their way to be catty, and kindness was more apparent than pettiness.

Listen up, you are not better than anyone. People have different interests and we are all raised differently. You may not agree with the way someone lives, but guess what? It's their life and not yours. If you disagree with it to a point where it seriously bothers you, then you really need to take a step back and realize what's important in life. Everyone's parents has a different style of parenting. Some people may have less manners than you, some may even have a lot more than you. Some people may believe in things that you don't believe in, but you need to understand that our differences is what makes life beautiful. God gave each and every one of us our own special unique characteristics that make us who we are. You have no right to talk down on anyone if God loves us all the same.

Like I said, there are going to be people in this world that you don't like. It's probably going to really get to you at some point in time too, but you know what the best thing to do is when you don't get along with someone? Ignore them. It's pretty simple. Let them live the life they want to live and let them do it happily, because odds are, they don't care what you think.

No one is going to change to be the person you want them to be and you have no right to try to mold anyone to your standards. You have no right to talk about someone without knowing their full circumstance. You have no right to exclude people for not being in the same group as you. Do you get what I'm saying here? If we all came to realize that everyone is different and grew to accept those differences, I bet this world would have a lot less animosity.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. 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.
