An Advance Apology To My Soon-To-Be Roommates
SarrahBetz

Dear Soon-To-Be Roommates,

I love you guys. You're each awesome and special in your own ways, and I know we're going to have a blast living together. I can't wait for those late night food runs and those Friday night pizza nights. That being said, I just wanted to apologize before we move in together. Why? Because I probably won't remember to say 'sorry' to you enough times. So, without further ado, let me get to apologizing!

I apologize for all times I'll probably yell at you to be quiet while I'm watching one of my thousand TV shows.

I apologize for yelling at you when you wake me up from a nap that I shouldn't be taking (you guys are good friends and I'll thank you later).

I apologize for getting annoyed when you ask for help with anything. Like the dishes... we know this will happen.

I apologize for getting annoyed when you can't eat when I do so I have to eat alone or make something myself.

I apologize for all the times I'm going to want you and force you to do my hair.

I apologize for breaking out in songs that you hate or get tired of hearing me sing.

I apologize for the possibility of me changing the temperature behind your backs.

I apologize for my shedding and (most likely) not vacuuming it. I've lived with this long hair problem forever. I've gotten used to it so I guess it's time you do too.


I apologize for complaining about things.


I guess I could go on and on with this list, but I'll stop there. You guys know me more than I know myself, so I'm pretty certain you'd even be able to come up with even more things to put on this list than I could. I'm so excited to finally live with more than one human being this school year. We're going to have so many fun adventures, and for once I'm actually excited to get back to school. You guys make my life more colorful. Only a couple more weeks until we reunite!

Love,

Your future roommate.

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.

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.
