Sorry boys, I'm taken.

Why My Best Friends Are Actually My Soulmates
Alise Jonville

There comes a day in all of our lives where we realize who our true friends are. It may be in high school or college, but regardless of where you met them, they are your people. This group of friends knows you like the back of their hand, and is your rock through thick and thin. These are your soulmates, I promise.

As a child, I moved from school to school. This gave me the blessing of being able to meet so many extraordinary people. I have had many best friends throughout my life, and having the time of my life with them without even realizing it! Though getting to college, I am realizing that the friends I have made here, are actually my soulmates.

I feel like we are all on the search for a significant other and love, when we should realize what is right in front of us. In high school, I was in a committed relationship for a long time. I thought that I had found a soulmate even, but soon realized that even though boys say they will always be there, they (probably) won't. And yes that is sad, but it is the truth. Friends are there with you through everything, and will support you no matter what. I figure that when you search for love, it won't come easily, and when you don't search, you find just what you need.

This year, I have gotten so close with all of my best friends. We have all been there for each other through everything -- boys, stress, drama, and school. We have seen each other in our peak and at our lows and still continue to love one another. The most fun part of being with your friends is just being your crazy, weird (kind of psycho) self, and knowing that they would never dare judge you. I know I can say the weirdest, riskiest things around them, and we will all just laugh hysterically. This is the kind of thing that people go searching for in life, but soon realize that they've had it all along.

During this semester, all of us have either had a boyfriend, "thing" with someone, or been single. Even though all of those things are fun to be in, being single with your girls is the happiest time of your life. You don't have to worry or stress about boys being, well -- boys, and you just have each other to comfort, support and be super weird with each other. My friend group is so much happier and fun when we all just spend time with each other. We all understand and help each other in ways that I can't even understand myself. My friends are my soulmates in life and, frankly, boys are just around for fun.

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.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
