10 Signs You're More Like Family Than Friends
McKenzie Evans

Have you ever wondered if you and your best friend are actually family? Well, here are a couple of signs:

1. You know each other's garage codes.

You get to your best friend's house and no one is home? No problem -- you can just type in the code and chill until someone gets home.

2. You know where everything is located in the kitchen.

Isn't it awful when you go to someone's house and have to look through all the cabinets just to find a glass for your water? By the time you actually find it, you feel like you wasted half of your life. Well luckily for you, this isn't a problem you have at your best friend's house.

3. You hang out with your friend's parents when your friend is not around.

Your friend isn't home? There's no one to talk to? Nonsense. Their parents are just as good as them... or maybe better.

4. You know how to work their shower.

Is it not the worst when you are ready to get in the shower at a friend's house and then you realize you don't know how to work the dang thing?! Well this isn't your problem anymore. You are so familiar with it that you have started to teach their other guests.

5. You know the extended family.

Family party? You're there. I mean, its not a problem because you already know everyone.

6. You have the inside scoop on all the family drama.

You are around your friends family so much that they feel like you are part of the family, so they always have to catch you up on latest family fiasco.

7. Your Wi-Fi connects automatically.

Nothing better than walking into a house and automatically connecting to the WiFi. Nobody has time for those crazy long passwords anymore.

8. You can get food without asking.

Congrats! You have passed that awkward point of asking if there is any food you could possibly eat. Instead, you go grab your armful from the fridge and plop back down on the couch next to your other family.

9. You have to help clean the house.

There's people coming over? Hope you know where all the cleaning supplies are located!

10. You get in trouble with their parents just as much as yours.

The worst part of being more like family than friends? You get in trouble from your friend's parents like you are one of their children. You consider yourself to be, but you hoped that discipline wasn't included in that.

Having friends that are more like family is awesome, even if it does mean getting yelled at and helping clean a house. At least you're getting some free food out of it.

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.
