In a world where technology is basically everything to basically everyone, it's hard to really see how fast time has gone by and how many things we so easily lose track of. People are constantly taking selfies, pictures of their food and even their dates and I think it's great, but you post the picture and a week later and forget about it. So here is a thank you letter to Facebook memories.

Thank you.

Thank you for reminding me four years ago I became friends with one of my favorite people in the whole world.

Thank you for reminding me one year ago I got the best job I have ever had.

Thank you for reminding me how much all my siblings and friends have grown in the time I have been around.

Thank you for showing me how much I have changed, how much I have learned and how much I have grown as a person.

Thank you for reminding me that even though five years ago something terrible happened, I made it through and am still here and moving on.

Thank you for reminding me how many truly amazing an wonderful people I have in my life.

Thank you for reminding me I used to be a little bit embarrassing.

But most of all, thank you for showing me how to truly appreciate my life, and thank you for reminding me that even if I'm sad, I have so many great memories I can look back on. You see, a lot of people see social media as a bad thing, but I believe that social media can be a great thing. You can see how much you have accomplished and how much more you still have left to go, so thank you for reminding me that everyday is a new day to make good memories and accomplish new things.

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.

April Ludgate

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.
