12 People Who Are The Definition Of "Not All Heroes Wear Capes"
St. Louis Post Dispatch

Typically when people hear the word "hero", they think of Superman, Batman, or any other comic book character with some form of superpower. Others think of police officers, soldiers, and other people who spend their entire life risking their life for our country. Some may even think of their mom and dad or any other person close to them. However, there are also the regular people, the Average Joe's some may say, whose actions can tend to be overlooked but are really the reason we have the saying, "not all heroes wear capes."

1. The person who sends notes to the entire class before a test.

They're the professor's worst nightmare and every student's biggest blessing.

2. The friend that lets you use their Netflix account.

The reason for your frequent procrastination but also your periodic happy/lazy days.

3. The friend that asks you to go to the bathroom with her when a creepy guy is hitting on you at the bar.

And don't worry, she'll be there to continue to save you all night.

4. The cashier when they say, "Don't worry about it," when you're a dollar short.

They've got ya feeling #blessed.

5. Anyone that responds to your 2 a.m. text asking for a ride home after a night out.

6. The employee at the store who lets you apply your coupon even though it expired two days ago.

The reason you're not drowning in debt over a pair of shoes.

7. The professor that curves your grade at the end of the semester.

8. Harambe

I don't care if you think if this is old news. Harambe will never be old news.

9. The person who brings their dog to the tailgate.

Is it really game day if you don't see/take a picture with at least one dog.

10. Every pizza delivery guy ever.

*cue "I Will Always Love You" as the pizza man walks back to his car*

11. The person who says "me" when you ask if anyone has a piece of gum.

Saving you from having nasty breath and making everyone hate you one piece of Stride at a time.

12. Ken Bone

The man. The myth. The legend. Ken Bone is just what this odd and stressful election season needed.

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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
