12 Reactions We All Experience At A Gift Exchange As Told By The Friends Cast
julep.triplemint.com

1. When you already found out what you were getting a long time ago, but you still have to act excited

2. When somebody else already gave them the same gift that you got them

3. When you indirectly drop hints to see if they like the gift that you are going to give them, and they totally bash it...

4. When you over-emphasize that they must have the power to read your mind, because the gift they got you was "exactly what you wanted" (ok, more like exactly what you didn't want)

5. When you experience the beautifully emotional moment when their gift to you truly was exactly what you wanted

6. When you act like the process of getting their gift was no big deal, but really, it cost you an arm and a leg in order to get your hands on such a hot commodity...

7. When you feel bad because you appreciate all of the thought that they put into picking out your gift, but the multicolored sweater just isn't your style...

8. When they honestly tell you that they don't like the gift that you gave them

9. When you don't know how to react when you open gifts so you just

10. When they're telling you all about the gift that they got, and you're happy for them, but it is something that totally does not interest you

11. When it is the day before the exchange and you have yet to get a gift to give

12. At the end of the exchange, maybe the gifts weren't what people wanted, but everyone realizes the good company that they are in, and that is what is most important

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.

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.
