Yes, we realize it is not “real.” It doesn’t mean love or anything (actually, it's kind of an unspoken rule you don't Greek marry someone you're into or dating), but it still gives you a giddy feeling to know that Let's not forget that I can get a slight tan by just walking to class! I love spring semester because I can throw on a sun dress and head out the door. Lugging around your winter clothing all day gets old after a while. If your university is anything like mine, your walk is at least ten minutes long. Winter means you need to get all bundled up just to walk to class. Looking forward to something definitely helps the semester go by super quick! In addition, when you return from Spring Break refreshed and relaxed, the rest of the semester flies by. The long winter break lands at the end of the fall semester, so there truly is nothing to get excited about that occurs during the semester. Fall semester has short weekend breaks, such as fall break or Thanksgiving. Spring Break is a great thing to look forward to. It is a week that students take full advantage of for traveling. Spring Break usually falls halfway through the semester. We are a nation of equality and opportunity – it's time to let some of that opportunity flow. Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet. Even so, someone not having a college degree doesn't make their worth any less valuable. I've often heard: "It isn't fair that someone working in a fast food restaurant will get paid the same as a college professional!" If we raise the minimum wage to, let’s say, $11 an hour, it would still be a lower amount than that of a college professional. The minimum wage is not sufficient to uphold and support an individual, especially individuals with families. Most minimum-wage workers support their family on this income – and 28 percent of these individuals have children. Half of minimum-wage workers are 25 years old or older. Not only has a higher minimum wage worked in cities across the United States, but a 2006 study by the Center for American Progress and Policy Matters compared small business performances and found that the small businesses who paid the higher wages were more profitable. Raising the minimum wage will hurt small business. Following that procedure, unemployment decreased 17.46 percent – falling from a previous 6.3 percent to 5.2 percent. On J, Seattle changed the city's minimum wage to $15 dollars. "Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet." Better pay leads people to spend more money, and the cycle repeats. In a March 2011 report, the Center for Economic and Policy Research concluded that raising the minimum wage would not only help workers but actually have the possibility of increasing job openings. Here are some myths that I would like to present and debunk: Try and see how $30,160 would cover all those expenses in a year – it doesn't. Now, let's take into account rent, food, gas, utilities, car insurance, health insurance, school supplies, clothes, and tuition. That's only $7,846 above the poverty line. What about combined income from two minimum-wage workers? Wouldn't that put them above the poverty line? In a nuclear family with two working parents and two children, their combined yearly wage would be about $30,160.
