Why It's OK That My Boyfriend And I Don't Fight

Just because you don't fight with your partner, it's not the end of the world.

I have heard more than once that if you are in a long-term relationship, it's ok if you fight; in fact, it is bad if you don't. Well, I would have to disagree. My boyfriend and I don't fight, but we also don't keep things from each other. We don't fight because we have really really good communication skills. Instead of keeping things from each other and letting them build up inside us waiting to explode into an ugly fight, we talk things out when we have something difficult to discuss.

My boyfriend and I have only had one fight in our more than three and a half years of dating, and it was a stupid and unnecessary fight. It most likely wouldn't have even happened if we had better communications skills during it. I can't imagine what it would be like if my boyfriend and I ever got into a serious fight. I couldn't live with myself knowing he was angry at me or if I was at him.

Just because we don't argue, it doesn't mean we keep things from each other and we don't tell each other what the other needs to hear. There have definitely been those moments in our relationship. But we are at a point in our relationship where we are comfortable with doing that for each other because we know in the end, it will benefit the other person.

So if you are in a long-term relationship, but you don't fight, don't worry. As long as you have good commutations skills, your relationship is a-ok. But every relationship is different, so if you don't fight, but don't have good communications skills, you may need to re-evaluate the way you communicate. It is completely up to you. Just make sure you do what's best for you and your partner.

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.

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.
