Dear Mr. Forever, Sorry I'm Not Mrs. Perfect

But thanks for sticking around.

Dear Mr. Forever, Sorry I'm Not Mrs. Perfect
Jessica Douglas

When I first met you, I was probably preoccupied with one of the many things on my mind. I guess I got myself together and somehow made you stick around. I will never see what you saw in me, but hey, I'm not complaining. You quickly learned that I am a busy body and that I take on way too many things and sometimes get overwhelmed. I might be a procrastinator; however, I always manage to get everything done.

As we got more serious and it became time to meet your family, you, thankfully, talked me out of the worried anxious mess I became. Every time it comes to meeting your family I will still panic and worry and hope that they will still love me. The reason why is due to the fact that they raised you and know who is best for you. They have also disciplined the gentleman I fell head over heels for. I would never want you to have to choose between them and me.

I don't want to be like other couples who have date night where they get all dressed up and go have a nice dinner once a week or so. I don't like it, so please understand that — yes, a date night would be great occasionally, but I would be perfectly fine with cooking together and watching a movie. Besides I am way to indecisive and picky to find a new place every week. I want us to have our own thing.

However, out of all my faults, please be understanding with my love for animals. I always have and I always will. I know that I don't need any but I want them. Once they have a name it's over, done, and they are mine. You know that if I go to PetSmart, the first section I go to is where the cats and kittens are. I have a soft spot for cats and will want to adopt all of them. Please don't let me and, yes, I will be kind of upset, but I will get over it.

Love always,

Jessica

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.
