A Letter To My Little Sister

"There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you." - Unknown

Nov 10, 2019

Dear Abby,

Lucky you, you're stuck with me. No matter how many times I do or don't say it, I love you. You're my built in best friend and I'm so lucky you came into my life. Having you as a sister has been the best thing that ever happened to me.

I know when we were younger we weren't always the best of friends until it came time for me to leave for college. But, I'm so happy we've become as close as we have. You're the best secret-keeper, the person I can trust the most and you're always there to listen to my rants and cries. I know I must annoy you 99% of the time but, you're my favorite person to annoy.

All the fights over you stealing my clothes, listening to you cry over something mom said to you, how the boys were mean to you, and everything in between are my favorite things. While this may sound weird but, I love that you let me in and allow me to be there as a shoulder to cry on. I know that I've always come to you crying over bullies or small problems, it makes me happy, you feel that you can do the same.

You may be my little sister but I look up to you more than anyone. You've taught me to push past the rough times and that you can do anything if you try. I've watched you go from a terrible gymnast, to a level 9 and then a freshman on the varsity diving team. You've worked so hard to get where you are, injuries and all.

I may be 8 hours away from you the majority of the year but know that I'm only a call away. I'm always here for you to always listen to you rant, tell me about your diving meets and even just to tell me little things. I don't know how many times I've said this and how many more I'll tell you, but I'm so proud of you. I'm proud of everything you've become, the person you are today and will continue to be. I'm proud of all your accomplishments and I love telling people how proud I am of you. No matter how many times we fight I'm still your big sister and I love you no matter what.

My little sister, you're beautiful, determined, hard working, and so talented. Follow your dreams and never give up. No matter what happens in your life, know I'm always proud of you and always look forward to seeing your face. You are so capable of anything you want to do and I'll always be there to cheer you on. I can't wait to continue to watch you grow up.

Love you forever,

Your big sister

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

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.

No one best represents the struggle like our favorite 90s squad.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

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 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.
