Friend Groups Confuse Me, And I'm Lowkey Over Them

Most think of Regina George and the plastics as their stereotypical idea of friendgroups, and honestly, that could be true.

Where, when, and why did they even start?

Friend Groups.

Friend groups are the weirdest, most questionable group you might ever be a part of. What is even the point of them? Maybe to bring all your favorite people together to do the same thing at once...But who said that was a good idea.

Most think of Regina George and the plastics as their stereotypical idea of friend groups, and honestly, that could be true. Friend groups usually start with one or two friends thinking it would be the greatest idea to mend all their friends together. It's not.

Most friend groups in your surrounding town, school or workplace all have their hidden secrets. Social media provides the greatest facade about how they truly feel about each other. Corny captions from rap songs, signature poses, and God forbid someone misses out in a picture. Everyone looks like they love each other and like they would never say a thing about another group member...A total lie.

If you have ever been in a friend group or friends with someone who is in a friend group, you will most likely know the 411 about who actually hates who. A number of catty fights and jealousy...is sickening.

The group chat starts off with the "Good Morning" text followed by several random emojis. The group chat name will change depending on the season, adding fall leaves or snowflake emojis. Oh, and DON'T dare change the name after someone does because I guarantee you will be the biggest b*tch ever because of it.

Also, don't be the person who had to miss out on the weekly group hangout because everyone will talk sh*t about you. The chemistry behind a friend group still puzzles me.

You talk with one person and they tell you how much they hate someone else in the friend group or how much they annoy them. Then, you see a picture of the same people together smiling, holding hands trying to be all cute.

Doesn't this confuse you? Because I thought we were on the same page but I guess not.

Gtg, hanging out with these b*tches.

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.

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.
