Having A Little Brother Is The Best

And I'm thankful every day.

Anyone who has a little brother knows how much of a blessing and a curse it can be. Having a little brother means you have someone who will always have your back while annoying you at every single chance possible. I have learned so many things from having a little brother. I have learned patience during 17-hour car rides of being poked in the back of the head and how to love others too. As much as we have had our ups and downs, I wouldn't change having a little brother for anything.

He will always protect you

Some boy break your heart? He's there to comfort you and throw in empty threats. Friends messing with you? He's ready to step in. He's not willing to let anyone hurt you. The only person who is allowed to mess with you is him.

He will always support you

After years and years of boring and lengthy dance competitions, he was always there to cheer for me every second I was on the stage. When I got into my dream school, he was right next to me to share my excitement. When I first got my license, he was always down to deal with my crazy driving.

He shows interest in your interests

Me and my brother tend to be as opposite as they come. Considering the fact that my interests usually involve makeup and his are mudding, it's really nice that he at least pretends to care about what I love to do.

He has your back

Sometimes, literally. It's nice knowing someone will always be there for you if you fall. After doing an all day hike, he was next to me helping me and looking after me. Having a forever friend is the greatest.

He will love you no matter what

There's a bond that siblings have that can rarely be broken. Having a little brother is like having someone who will watch you fall a thousand times, pick you up, and still love you. Through the fights and the arguments, I would still do anything for him and I know he would do the same for me.

I had no clue what my parents meant when they told 3-year-old me that I have a baby brother. I am so thankful to have someone who will always be there for me. Love you to the moon and back, D.

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.
