It all starts on that first day, the day that she sees her new best friend. Even though the good boy or girl may have no idea whats in store, the rest of their life will be partnered with that very child that is smiling cheek to cheek. (As expressed by these cute pictures from my Phi Sigma Sigma sorority sisters and younger me!)

My good boy's name is Ben, a Labrador mix rescue, the perfect family dog. Even though his main priority in life is food, he has given me so much more than the occasional kiss and cuddle.

1. Her Personal Cheerleader

No matter what sport or minor life accomplishment, she knows that her best friend is on the sidelines or waiting for her at home with a proud tail wag!

2. The Most Loved Family Member

Maddie Palmer and Family

No matter what time of day, it is impossible for anyone to be irritated with the fluffy family members, now your bother and sisters on the other hand...

3. A Shoulder to Lean On

Emily Hilbolt

You can tell your furry friend anything and you know that they are intently listening and by the end reaffirming your own thoughts.

4. Best Attention Givers

Ashley Johnston

From a *boop* to a full tackle, dogs will give any age a huge scoop of loving! Plus double trouble is the double snuggle!

5. Adventure Partner

She loves long hikes, he loves them more! It can be a simple car ride or snacking mid day, no one is more enthused then your furry buddy!

6.Responsibility

Erika Pappa

As we get older, the world gets bigger and a girl learns that not only does she need to care for herself, but others too. Whose better to teach her that lesson other than the one she loves the most?

7. Never Says "No" to Naps

Jessica

HUG ME PUPPER!!! Napping is a part of everyday life for a growing girl and no one is more "ready teddy" to join then her bestie!

8. Always Ready For a Selfie

Feeling like your snaps to your crush are feeling bland? Pop your favorite wingman in the mix and your instantly considered a amazing human being.

9. Warm Fuzzy Hugs

Who needs a man when a cuddle is there for you always? Can we also please acknowledge this little guys tongue?

10. Workout Motivator

Just keep telling yourself that they need to exercise just as much as you want their company. Honestly, each other's heavy breathing is kind of cute.

11. Smiles

Just take one glance and you will grin until the end of time from that cute face. Who can resist doing some puppy talk at that "wittle faaaceee from such a cutie pa-tootie!"

12. Your Most Steady Relationship

Friends to promise rings, nothing is certain EXCEPT your day one! Who needs a partner when your OG partner in crime is starring out the window waiting for you to come home?

13. The Ying to your Yang

No matter how old they may grow together and all that happens in life, at the end of the day, a semester, or even a couple years, spending time together never gets old. As soon as you give them a little kiss and hug, the dog days are over! Do you feel that? Yes, those are happy tears from thinking of the special half of your heart!

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.
