10 Reasons Dogs Are Better Than People

They really are man's best friend.

1. Babies make you cringe, dogs make you smile.

Seriously, I could hear a baby cry and have this deep, somewhat hidden, urge to shout. When I see a dog, I just want to pet it and be it's friend.

2. You can tell your dog your deepest, darkest, secret, yet he will never tell anyone.

Dogs are like the best of friends. Even if they could talk, I doubt they would tell anyone your secrets, they're just loyal like that.

3. Your dog is always happy to see you.

No matter how long you're gone, your dog is always so happy when you get home.

4. You never have to worry about your dog breaking your heart or being untrustworthy.

Dogs are a commitment without the drama.

5. Your dog can't, and probably wouldn't anyway, talk back to you.

No talking = no sass.

6. Dogs are always down for food when you are.

Tacos? Dog is down. Ice cream? Dog is down. 2am trip to White Castle? Dog is totally down.

7. Commitment. Babies are an 18+ year commitment, dogs are like maybe 15, depending on their health and breed.

No need to worry about saving for a college fund!

8. Unconditional love.

No matter how late you come home, or what you do, or make them wear, your dog will still love you.

9. Reliable pillow, plus Instant personal heater.

When you have a dog, you don't need to worry about being cold. They will gladly keep your feet warm for you, plus you always will have an extra fuzzy and warm pillow laying around.

10. Free entertainment.

Dogs are hilarious. Embrace it.

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1983

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.

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.
