To My Best Friend...

...my roommate, my college bestie, my future bridesmaid, my other half.

To My Best Friend...
Ravyn Dallaire

I often wonder what I have done to deserve your friendship, kindness, and loving heart. You have taught me what a true friend is. So this is to you.

I think you deserve the entire world. I actually think you deserve much more than you give yourself credit for. You do not always see how truly amazing you are and you do not understand how perfect you are. Sometimes I feel like I do not deserve to be your best friend because of how utterly genuine you are. But I never question God’s plans and the blessings He has given me, and you are a blessing.

I know we may have only become friends towards the beginning of the school year, but I could never imagine this past year without you. You have been here for my late night conversations, the days where I feel like no one understands, and the times I want to scream about boys. You have been there to cry with me, laugh with me, and make awful punny jokes.

You have allowed me to be me. You have gotten to know me to my very core and never doubted me as a person. Not many people always see the true Kenzie but you have. In fact you have helped me prosper and grow into a person I am proud to be. You are the type of friend who would go to war for me. Trying to put into words how thankful I am for you is so challenging because words just will not do it justice. You have one of the most genuine souls and kindest hearts. You believe in me, trust me, and love me.

That is what makes you beautiful, that you change people, you don’t let people change you.

Most of all, I am thankful that you are just as weird, hungry (lol), motivated, independent, caring, and awkward as me.

The reason for me writing this is to thank you, but more importantly help you realize how truly special and important you are. I know when you read this you will shake your head and probably be a little mad at me for writing this, but above all I just want you to know that I am thankful for you.

Xoxo,

Kenz

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.
