46 Things To Thank Your Roommates For
Abby Blankenship Facebook

One of my favorite things about college is getting to live with my very best friends. Sometimes in the midst of craziness that occurs, I forget how lucky I am to have girls that STILL want to be friends/roommates with me despite the reasons listed below. (At least, I think they still want to live with me...) Here's a thank you for the past year! Have your roommates done a lot for you? You should thank them for the following reasons!


1. For telling you that you're the bigger person and you shouldn't block him.

2. And then supporting you when you block him anyway.

3. For deleting that Snapchat you looked bad in.

4. For still wanting to be roommates with you, despite the fact you don't clean.

5. Like ever.

6. For listening for HOURS when you want to tell them your future wedding plans.

7. Even when you have yet to find a groom. Or even a slight potential groom.

8. For always reminding you that grades aren't that important.

9. And then saying in their motherly voice, "Now have you studied or have you been playing on your phone all night?"

10. For dropping everything immediately to bring you toilet paper.

11. For always letting you borrow cash because you only have your debit card.

12. For turning your birthday into a literal lifestyle (thanks, Drake!)

13. For understanding that when you text, "Almost there!" what you really mean is that you haven't left yet.

14. For always checking for your approval before they post a picture of you on Instagram.

15. For never, ever judging you.

16. Even when they probably should.

17. For accepting that you're super dramatic about everything.

18. Like everything.

19. For telling you not to wear that (this is how you know you have a true friend...)

20. For spending a good 30 minutes in the group text coming up with a picture caption.

21. And then not getting mad when you choose a completely different caption.

22. For telling you that you're a pretty crier.

23. Even though you all know you're not. It's like, Kim Kardashian-bad over here.

24. For always leaving the room unlocked because you never have your key.

25. For not getting mad when you rip the couch because the "Sophomore 30" IS a real thing, y'all.

26. For wanting to have sleepovers in the living room so you can all be together, despite everyone having their own bed.

27. For always being available to cuddle.

28. For including you in their plans with their boyfriends.

29. Like, they don't even ask. It's just understood that it's a party of three.

30. For not getting mad when they've just cleaned the whole room and you bring all of your stuff in.

31. For sharing your love of "Hannah Montana" and always being down to have dance parties.

32. For always shrugging off the "noise complaints" that always seemed to occur during said dance parties.

33. For praying with you.

34. And praying for you because clearly you need it.

35. For picking you up at 2 a.m. behind the Winn-Dixie parking lot and asking no questions.

36. For always letting you borrow an outfit.

37. Or five.

38. For always texting you when they're having company over.

39. Which is never because the only company any of you have is each other.

40. For always going to eat with you, even if it's just so you don't have to sit alone.

41. For understanding your intense need to avoid all male contact.

42. For texting you in advance when they pass someone they know you're trying to avoid so you can plan your route accordingly.

43. For already having your speeches planned out for each other's wedding. (Still no groom.)

44. For never getting embarrassed when you FaceTime your cat.

45. They've even gotten to the point where they want to talk to her, too.

46. For defying the stereotype of "Don't live with your best friends because you'll end up hating them." We're still here, haters.

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.

April Ludgate

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.
