The Thank You Letter My College Bff's Deserve

Personal

We never thought the time to go our separate ways would come, but it's finally here. Soon enough we will say goodbye to thirsty Thursdays, ice cream dates, and singing our hearts out to Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood in the living room.

As much as I wish we could remain college students forever, I'm beyond excited to watch all of you live your best life and make all of your dreams come true.

Reminiscing on the past 4 years, I have many things I'm thankful for, but I'm most thankful to the people who helped shape me into the person I am today. So this letter is for you guys.

Thank you for being there for me all of the times I needed you, with no questions asked. For all of the times I was upset, feeling defeated, or just didn't really feel like being alone and you would drop whatever you were doing just to come over and hang out with me, thank you.

Thank you for always hyping me up. Countless times I've felt ugly, fat, not good enough, any many other things. But thanks to you and your constant reassurance, I started to see myself in a new light, learned to not be so mean, and to love myself the way I am.

Thank you for the endless laughs. Whether it be from one of the million, and I'm not exaggerating when I say million, memes you send me in a day, or from a funny memory we still can't let go of from 2 years ago, I'm always laughing.

Thank you for always having my back, giving me advice, and telling me the things I don't really want to hear, but need to hear. You have always had my best interest in mind and for that, I am forever grateful.

And finally, thank you for being one of the greatest parts of my college experience, and my future bridesmaids. There have been so many ups and downs over the past 4 years, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

I can only hope that ten or maybe even twenty years from now, we will still be able to get together like we never parted. For now, I'm going to cherish all of the time we have left living in the same city, and try to remind you how much I love you and am thankful for you every chance I get.

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.

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.
