To My High School Sidekick

To the person who had my back for four straight years!

To My High School Sidekick
Tasha Lagueux

Every time you look back at your high school years you see this one person. They are your side kick, your best friend, and your person for those four years. I just decided to write an appreciation post for them, because maybe they don't get the love that they deserve.

To my sidekick,

You know who you are. I don't want to directly call you out, but by everything in this letter everyone will know who you are. Homeroom would have never been the same without you. Holy pooooooooop man. Every time you didn't show up was a little heart break. I was worried when you were sick and I was worried when you were even a minute late for talking to a teacher. We ran that homeroom. It was you and I against all odds. The first couple years we weren't so close but by the end of that second year, I knew we were destined for greatness.

We had a few classes together along the years and no matter what class it was we were goofing around and making eye contact and trying to send messages to each other. We had secret head nods and secret nicknames strictly staying between us two. The amount of times we both looked at each other and knew what each of us was thinking was one times to many, but it was great and amazing all in one.

When we got to senior year and picked the same exact classes was the best thing. It was like what classes do we have together? What was the homework? Shit we have homework, gosh darn. Every day was adventurous and wonderful. Going to school wasn't so bad anymore because we got to struggle with the same issues together. Basically every day was another adventure for us. Like oh what are we going to screw up now? The best part of the beginning of senior year was how you switched into my math class! Oh the good times!

We were double trouble and I knew that if I ever needed anything you were literally right beside me. Now as I sit in my college classes and, gosh, the real adult life, eww grosssss, I can't turn to my left, or right, and have you right there. You didn't come with me to this school and it sucks. I know your a click away, but you're not a seat away. I'm all lonesome up here without my person I had my entire high school career. It's not the same at all, but I'm doing good man, I'm figuring things out by myself! Haha, anyway I just wanted to say I miss you my side kick. Listen I know your going to say just text me you idiot, but I don't want to. I want to express my love for you here, so take it or leave it! (Please don't leave it man!)

You're the best part about my high school career. Knowing you were always there for me got me through a lot, you're amazing and deserve the world.


Love you forever,

your sidekick!

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.

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.
