25 Things Better Than A Boyfriend

Praise the single life.

Love Affair With Fashion

It's 2016 and no girl needs a guy to make her happy. There are so many things in this world that fill that place, even the little things. Stop dwelling on the single life and appreciate some of the small thing for once.

1. Chocolate

It's not just for Valentine's Day. Chocolate is one of the best candies out there, it should be its own food group. Go out and buy yourself some chocolate, because why not?

2. Netflix

Forget Netflix and Chill. Get into bed with a bag of popcorn and Netflix it up with yourself. You can watch whatever you want at your own pace, perks!

3. Pizza

Ultimate comfort food.

4. Puppies

They are so cute and cuddly. Puppy trumps boyfriend every time.

5. Air Freshener

Nothing like some air freshener to brighten your day! Plus, no guy can smell like a tropical beach as well as your favorite air freshener.

6. Long Showers

Something about taking a long hot shower always puts me in a good mood. Take that time to yourself to relax and clean yourself of your worries.

7. Dance Parties

Dance it out.

8. Fuzzy Socks

They are like a warm puppy hug for your feet!

9. Warm Cookies

The smell, the taste, the smiles. A boyfriend can't beat a warm cookie.

10. Shopping

Boys hate it, girls love it. So take advantage of this.

11. New Jewelry

Do like the independent women do, "I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings."

12. Calling Your Mom

Long phone calls with mom are pretty much the highlight of any girls day.

13. Pajamas

The choice of clothing when you have nobody to impress.

14. Cat Videos

LOL

15. Movie Marathons

Equally as amazing as Netflix binging. I would suggest a DCOM or Harry Potter marathon for maximum happiness.

16. Adult Coloring Books

They are a lot more relaxing than you think.

17. Mani Pedis

No explanation needed.

18. Vacations

Escape reality and your thoughts by getting away for a while. It's a great time to lie on the beach and be alone.

19. Tanning

Goes with vacationing. You look good, you feel good. It's as simple as that.

20. GNO

Call the girls, grab a drink, have some fun. Nothing wrong with a random hookup if thats where your night ends.

21. Messy Hair

Messy hair don't care. Who's gunna judge?

22. Jennifer Lawrence

She's the real bae.

23. Spontaneous Car Rides

Something thats always better when its just you and your girls.

24. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

It's all about the friends.

25. Girl Friends

Hoes before bros.

You know it.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

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

1910

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 there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Told through Parks & Recreation GIFs

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

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.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
