8 Reasons I Am Thankful For My Roommate

I am so thankful that I hit the roommate jackpot.

Nov 08, 2018

I have heard horror stories about other peoples roommates. Some people have even moved out because they can't stand their roommate that much. Other people just live with someone they never talk to. I am so thankful that I hit the roommate jackpot. Madison has become my best friend and a huge part of my life.

So here's to you Madison, thank you...

1. For not thinking I'm weird when I talk to you in my sleep.

This has happened multiple times, and she just recaps me on the conversation the next day. Super thankful she doesn't think I'm a weirdo or get scared because one night I asked her about a shotgun.

2. For letting me borrow your clothes when I don't have the right thing to wear.

God blessed me with a roommate that wears the same size as me. Even in shoes!!!

3. For being down for food whenever wherever.

Y'all we were in the middle of a tornado warning, and we loaded up in her car and drove to cook out.

4. For letting my boyfriend come over and hang out.

Honestly, I was worried about getting a roommate that didn't want a boy in the room or just wouldn't be friends with my boyfriend. However, Madison and Will have become good friends, and they joke around and laugh just as much as me and Will do.

5. For letting me play music ALL the time.

I play music when I shower, when I put on makeup, when I study, literally all the time. Good thing is that we both like the same music, for the most part, we get to sing along together, and I get to show her my awesome dance moves.

6. For letting my home be your home away from home.

I have brought her to my hometown football games, to my house multiple times, and to my hometown parties. She's been happy to go every time. We even got our hair cut at my home salon at the same time.

7. For not getting mad when I leave my stuff everywhere.

My books and binders tend to stray from the coffee table to my desk to the floor. Clothes are even worse. I don't know a single girl that can keep a room clean when she is trying to get ready. I am thankful that Madison doesn't care when I change clothes five times and every time leave the remaining clothes on the couch or on my bed.

8. For being willing to try new things.

We have tried so many new things in this first semester of college. A kickboxing class, pancakes in a cup, new coffees, are just some of them. I am so glad we get to try this stuff together. Even if we don't like it all.

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.

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.

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.

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.
