"Anyway, I can convince you and God to let me stay for a bit, it has been too long without you"

Let's be honest, if someone told you could could visit Heaven your response without a doubt be a yes. We all have at least one person we'd want to see. If you don't you haven't experienced loss of a loved one. Losing a loved ones has changed me in so many ways I can't express the feel. I have lost so many people dear to my heart I can't keep count anymore.

I know without a doubt the people I would meet. My grandpa's that I never got the chance to meet. I'm tired of hearing the stories and memories I would've loved to experience with them. It's draining to hear relatives talk about them and you have to pretend you know exactly what they're talking about.

I know I'd love to visit my aunt that passed at childbirth, Karen. My dad's sister, nobody got the chance to formally meet her. I know if I had the chance I would tell her all about the goofy things my dad does, or remind her of how good of a cook he is. Maybe mention that his name is so well known in our opportunity, everyone that has met him absolutely loves him and gave he gave them a positive outlook on life.

Seeing my Busha one last time would be the dream, because she has been in my dreams for last month in a half. Relatives always tell me, I look like her. To be honest, I have no recollection of her, just memories that people have told me. One thing that will always stand out because she called me "Shrimpy" not because I'm obsessed with Shrimp, because her and I were the shortest. With her at 5'1 and myself at 5'5 now. I can see why she called me Shrimpy. I just want to hug her and tell her I love you since I never got the chance to say goodbye, because it was so sudden.

Maybe he could've been a doctor, symphony director, maybe an astronaut but I have be content that he's not in pain anymore. Alex, was a kind hearted soul that never took anything for granted. If someone needed anything he'd be there for you in a heartbeat if he wasn't at a music lessons. I reconnected my bond with him in eighth grade as we're getting ready to be incoming freshmen. Blue and green aren't just my favorite colors anymore they're in remembrance of Alex. Donate Life means, donating your organ, like the person who saved Alex until he passed 2 years ago. Alex and I would tell you to consider becoming an Organ Donor.

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.

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.
