Now that summer's here, it's time to reconnect with your friends from high school and catch up. Here are 8 ideas of things to do when you're hanging out with your friends from high school!

1. Have a sleepover!

Whether you're 9 or 19, it's always fun to have a sleepover with friends. Pile up the pillows and break out the Cheetos while you watch Zac Efron in his prime

2. Pool Partyyy

Fun floaties and cute swimsuits give you a reason to meet up at the pool and cool off in the hot weather. Find out who can still cannonball the best... or maybe see who improved their cannonballs in the past year!

3. Go out to a fancy dinner

You're old enough to dine out now... by yourselves. Be the "adults" that you are for the night and go out to a nice dinner with the BFF's from back in the day.

4. Go on a day trip

The new-found freedom of college can be carried over to the freedom of the open road. Check out some of the local (or not-so-local) travel destinations around your area and share in the memories with those who you bonded with back in the day.

5. Camping

Nothing says summer like breaking out the tent and marshmallows and catching up over the campfire. Just like when you were seven, the smore's and the bonding will taste just as sweet.

6. Movie Marathon

Whether it's the whole "High School Musical" trilogy, the whole "Star Wars" trilogy... whatever you're into... set it all up and sit down to enjoy the whole series since it's summer and there's time to do so.

7. Make your own ice cream

There's a recipe to make the greatest summer food in the world, and it can be achieved without much difficulty and for much bonding between friends. Make it. Eat it. Cherish it.

8. Get outdoors

Whether it's hiking, playing soccer, shooting hoops, or just going for a walk together, meet up and get outside to enjoy the great outdoors together. The endorphins will boost your enjoyment of each other and you'll feel physically better while upping your heartbeat with the fresh air.

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.

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.
