Okay, yes I am a little biased being as I spend over half a year in Boone, but you have to admit, spring is great in Boone. To me, all seasons are actually great in Boone because it is one of the best places to be. So settle in and let me give you the best reasons of why everyone should visit Appalachian State and Boone in the spring time.

1. The humidity is low

Sure the humidity is still going to exist, but your chances of looking like Monica in Barbados are lesser than other NC destinations.

2. You can go on a hike in the beautiful weather

There is so much fun to be had on the Parkway or at any of the other various state parks nearby with trails galore.

3. All of the blossoming flowers

Come to Boone and smell our flowers, and you may end up looking just as majestic as Beyonce.

4. All of the water activities

You can cliff jump, white water raft, hangout on a river, raft or any other leisurely water activity you please.

5. 75 is considered hot here

No more 95 degree days for you. When the temperature rises above 65, shorts and tank tops emerge for good.

6. It is the perfect weather to Eno in

Crack that sucker open and prepare for a day of rest and comfort.

7. Thunderstorms

If you love storms as much as some do, you will love the repeated thunderstorms Boone gets throughout the spring.

8. All of the friendly people

This weather just brings out the nice in people.

9. The dogs

Every where you look, there is another wonderful, beautiful dog. Dogs everywhere, trying to give all of the people seen all of the love. It is amazing.

10. The general happy mood

All of the people, especially on campus, are in remarkably better moods simply because we can be outside and enjoy the wonderful weather.

11. Overall, the entire vibe changes for the better

As a whole, you can feel the whole town come back to life, which is pretty amazing. We're done hiding in our groundhog holes for now.

I am positive that these reasons don't adequately communicate the wonderfulness that is Boone in the spring. It is comparable to none, and you should come find out yourself.

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.

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.
