There's Magic All Around Us

Going through life alone isn't easy and it shouldn't happen. We are social creatures that crave to be with others, but sometimes we don't get that. When you feel lost or don't know what to do, it's nice to have someone to give you advice. For me, I seek the advice of my family, friends, and my spirit animal- Stevie Nicks. Whether she is talking about how to turn something negative into a positive, or to be your own kind of beautiful, Stevie's advice is always helpful. I may be young, but all of what she says is relevant to every one and in every generation.

So the next time that you feel down or misguided, here are some quotes from Stevie that may help you see things in a different way:

1. "If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?"

2. "I'm behind the time, but in my own fashion world."

3. “Little girls think it's necessary to put all their business on MySpace and Facebook, and I think it's a shame...I'm all about mystery.”

4. "Men are going to go out on the road and they're going to find other women. So if you really want to save yourself a whole lot of heartache, do not fall in love with somebody in a band. Just don't."

5. "Your graciousness is what carries you. It isn't how old you are, how young you are, how beautiful you are, or how short your skirt is. What it is, is what comes out of your heart. If you are gracious, you have won the game."

6. “I said,'Instead of going in the direction that a lot of the women singers are going in [revealing], I'll be very, very sexy under 18 pounds of chiffon and lace and velvet...I will have mystique.”

7. "When you're hurt or angry, let go by tapping into your humbleness. You want people to remember you for your grace."

8. "If you're an unattractive girl who's trying to be beautiful with Botox, forget it. If you are a beautiful girl who's trying to be beautiful with Botox, you will look like you're angry all the time."

9. "There is always magic to be summoned at any point. I love to live in a world of magic, but not a fake world of magic. We all really basically have a lot of magic... It’s only those of us who choose to accept it, that really understand it. It’s there for everyone."

10. "My life is a testament to believing that if you want something you can make it happen."

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.
