Cause your roomie is your best friend.

We all have to share our spaces with someone (or multiple people), and with close proximity comes bonding that you just can't get otherwise. Your roommate(s) is your confidante, your go-to, your ride or die, and whatever else you could call a super close, live-in best friend. It'll be weird to adjust to living without them after graduation. Here are just a few things you'll end up missing:

1. Having someone to go anywhere with you

If you want Starbucks or Chipotle, you can count on them to be along for the ride.

2. Venting sessions

Sad over a boy? Fail your exam? Get in a fight with your mom? Your roommate's there to hear about all of it.

3. Netflix and cuddling

Because if you can't sit home on a Friday night to watch Gilmore Girls and eat junk food with your roomie, who can you do it with? No one, that's who.

4. Decorating/furnishing your apartment

Even if that just means hanging up some lights and a few old posters, you make it your own.

5. An always available support system

Need I say more?

6. Having a perpetual sleepover

You can have ice cream and wine any night of the week, and it's acceptable because you're technically always having a "sleepover", right?

7. Making questionable decisions too often

Refer back to #6.

8. A best friend

At the end of the day, your roommate is your best friend. And even if you know you won't be seeing them as much after graduation, you know you'll have countless memories to look back on and even more to make in the future.

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.
