Now that Christmas is over, I was wondering what I could look forward to. Then, I quickly realized that there is so much to look forward to from the beginning of the new year, to the summer, and even the beginning of my 3rd semester at LSU. Starting a new year is always so exciting and scary. Here are 19 things to look forward to in 2019

1. The return of your favorite T.V. shows/new ones on the way

Instead of your nights filled with Christmas movies, you can finally get back to watching or re-watching your favorite shows.

2. Your bank account is happy again

Now, as a college student, whenever your relatives hand you an envelope, you become a kid again.

3. Spring Semester

You finally get to go back to see all your friends that you spent such a long time away from.

4. Travel

Personally, this year I am planning on going on a mission trip to Mexico, which will be my first time out of the country.

5. New Fashion Trends

I just hope crocs don't come back.

6. New Music

I can't wait to hear what 2019 has in store.

7. Summer

I know the second semester is going to be rough, so I can be excited to finish.

8. New Technology

3-D printing, wireless everything, and virtual reality EVERYTHING

9. Women's World Cup

U-S-A, U-S-A!

10. Important Historic Birthday

I don't know about you, but I am excited for the Grand Canyon to turn 100, and it is the 75th anniversary for D-Day.

11. Disney Films

That's right, I will be there opening night of Lion King.

12. Music Festivals/Tours

I am excited for all of the concert tours for multiple artists and even the music festivals.

13. New Friendships

I love making new friends, and I cannot wait to make some more!

14. The world will most likely not be ending

I can't make any promises, but I think mother earth will be around for another year or so.

15. Beauty

Hopefully, there are more collabs with more celebrities or even people like Rhianna and Kylie that produce their own company.

16. The royal baby

Even though the date has no been announced, I am still excited to see that beautiful baby.

17. All the new experences you will gain

These can be own life lessons and internships.

18. Solar Eclispes

Anyone living on the Arabian Peninsula or South Asia will get to experience this magically sight.

19. A new year

The chance to start over.

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.

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.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
