12 Reasons Your College Best Friend Will Be Your Forever Friend

College brings many people, obstacles and life accomplishments into your life. From freshman orientation you're meeting people that will either come into your life and stay. Or you'll meet the people that will come into your life, leave and teach you a life lesson. When you meet that person who is a stranger but doesn't act like one that's when you know you've found your best friend. Having a college best friend is the best part of being in college. You have a person who has been by your side at your worst and your best. So here is to all the college friendships out there!

1. You've seen each other at your worst.

You've seen each other crying and then reaching for another piece of pizza. Pizza is the cure to all life problems in college.

2. And cheered for each other at your best.

Honestly, in college you need that person that cheers for you on your bad days. You know the days that you miss your 9am class, spill coffee on your new shirt, fail that quiz and wear yesterdays uniform to work.

3. Boundaries don't exist.

You're best friends so there is no such thing as boundaries. Y'all know everything about each other and you go wherever she goes.

4. You get their family drama.

No, momma did not really do that? OMG, what did dad say?!

5. You managed to maintain the friendship through all the stress of exams.

If you manage to stay friends through finals week there is no breaking that bond.

6. You know their dating history like it's your own.

You know everything about the guy she dated when she was in 6th grade to the new guy she's talking to on Tinder.

7. You've lived together.

Y'all have lived together and you didn't kill each other?

8. You don't have to hold back from being your weird self.

You finally have someone to be your weird self with!

9. Nothing can beat bonding while gaining 15 pounds, crying over finals and trying to pass English together.

She's the one who was there from semester to semester and gained that 15 pounds with you. There is no other friendship like that.

10. They would never begin to judge you, but they will laugh at you.

You don't judge so you'll just laugh because she is dumb and you can picture her doing it.

11. You've witnessed miracles in each others lives.

There is no better bond then witnessing miracles. I'm lucky, with my college BFF I witnessed a baby being born!

12. And because over these 3 plus years y'all really grew together.

So far you're 3 years strong but y'all have many more to come.

Thanks for being my best friend!!

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

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.
