Goodbye to My College Best Friends

I want to take a moment to say goodbye in a way that I never could out loud.

This is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. What's amazing is that I didn't really know any of you before this year and now you all mean the world to me. I want to take a moment to say goodbye in a way that I never could out loud. I want to be open and honest with you. I know you'll pick on me later for being so sentimental, but I also know that, on the inside, you'll feel the same.

I want to start with the one who I met first. You were supposed to be my roommate and I'm sorry it didn't work out. In the beginning, we clung to each other because you were the one person I knew in a crowd of people I didn't. It's definitely not like that now. I know we've had our ups and downs, but I'm so happy with where we are now. You're one of my best friends and I would do anything for you. Sometimes I look at you and think we're so different, but then I realize we're not actually that different at all. You're smart, caring, and just a fun-sized ball of sass, and I think I'm pretty much the same. I'm really happy to have met you and I can't wait to spend the next three years together.

Next, I want to talk about the one who I met second. Darling, you're my loud and proud friend, and I love you so much. I'm so happy we ended up living right across the hall from each other. I've never had guy friend that I was so close to and I'm glad you get the honor. We pick on each other so much and I love it. I've never felt anything but happy when I'm around you.You're one of the most loyal people I know and I want you to know that I would do anything for you. Thank you for being the person I can talk to, cry to, and vent to. Thank you for being the person I can go shopping with, sing with, and just hang out with. Thank you for being you and don't ever think you're not good enough. You're perfect.

The last person I want to say goodbye to is the last person I met. My love, it hurts so much to write this. I know we're going to see each other a lot this summer, but I still miss you. Thank you for being my everything, my rock, and my guiding light. I'm going to miss everything we do together, even if it is just hours of studying by your side or waking up next to you at 6:30 AM to go to class. You make everything enjoyable. You make grocery shopping enjoyable. I want to apologize in advance because I know I'm going to cry so much next week when we leave. When I think about all of the people in the world who don't get to see the person they love for days, weeks, or even months, I feel selfish. I've seen you almost every day since I met you. You've because a part of my life and an amazing part of everyday. I'm so happy I met you. I love you.

I know I'll see you all over the summer, but it won't be the same as when we're at school. It's going to be so weird not living right next to my best friends. I'm going to miss making dinner plans every night, hanging out in one of our rooms until midnight, and just being able to knock on one of your doors when I'm bored. I know next year's going to be even better though, and I can't wait to spend it with you guys.

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.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. 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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
