For My Girls

You're my people, and I am thankful.

I hope by now that you are aware of how much you mean to me. If you aren't, I am a failure of a friend. There have been so many "wow" moments where I say to myself, "Wow. I am so glad they are one of my best friends." Here are just a few things that I am forever thankful for in our friendships:

1. You are always down to get food, even if you aren't hungry.

Mexican food, ice cream, french fries, wings, granola bars...

2. You are always there to listen (usually over text) to my rants and emotional breakdowns.

This one is huge. I am over-emotional in every emotion. Thanks for keeping my head on straight.

3. You don't bail on me when I take my shoes off and sometimes my feet stink. Sorry. Boys, girls have stinky feet, too.

Sometimes your feet stink, too. I deal. You deal. If we stop being friends over stinky feet, what was our friendship glue even made of?

4. You always turn the radio up really loud and make me dance.

Every kind of music, any time of day, no matter who else is in the vehicle. I love it when you sing to the random people in passing cars.

5. You think I'm funny, when I am not.

Everyone knows my jokes aren't funny. Usually, I'm not trying to be funny, I am just blunt and dramatic. I'm not sorry, you're stuck with me.

6. You accept my weirdness, and let it fuel yours.

I was nervous to be weird around you at first, but you let your weirdness show just a little, and I lit up. Our friendship is founded on weird inside jokes and oddly amusing things.

7. You ask me to hold you accountable for something, yet still go against my accountability for you.

Some examples being working out, eating less potatoes (french fries, especially), attitude checks...

8. You love me every day, good and bad.

No matter how wonderful or horrible our days are going, you love me endlessly through every single one. Without you and your encouragement, bad jokes, and sometimes questionable advice, I would be a bigger mess than I am now.

Thank you, for making my mess a little smaller every day. I love you today, tomorrow, and forever. Whenever my big day comes, expect to be standing next to me. You are my soul sisters, because there's no way my mom couldn't handle two of me.

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.
