The Great Lake State, Michigan. My home away from home, more of a home than Missouri is to me in all honesty. Hands down the most beautiful state out there. Even more pretty than Colorado and I love CO. The trees are here are every where, it's not humid, never gets too hot, it's just too perfect. Here are some attractions to see or do while in this beautiful state.

1) Visit the Upper Peninsula/Mackinac Island

Visit the Upper Peninsula/Mackinac Island

The UP is hands down the prettiest part of the state. Mackinac Island is a little island that is 100% not connected to the state. The only way to get around on the island is horse, bikes, or just walking.

It may sound old fashion but it is such a fun experience to get to see. The island is only 8 miles around you can bike around the whole island.

Ever wanted to go to Germany but haven't found the time or your passports are expired? Well, this little German town in Michigan is your next best thing. From its food to the architect to the culture there is a little piece of Germany right here in the states.

Red Wings Hockey Game

Michigan one of the coldest states is also known for its hockey. If anyone states their hockey serious its Michiganders. So why not joins in on the excitement and go see a game for your self.

4Visit the schools

Michigan is home to two incredible schools. I mean nothing can compare to Missouri State but Michigan State has had an amazing basketball team for years under their current coach and the University of Michigan has had great years in football.

But not only are the sports good the towns the schools are located in are also fun towns. Ann Harbor is a very college town and Lansing is just a homey college town.

Henry Ford Museum

Because who doesn't like learning about how one of the top car manufacturers in the country got its start. You'll also see a lot of cool older model Fords.

Fishing on the Great Lakes

Michigan is the Great Lake State, why wouldn't you visit the lakes. The lakes aren't only known for their beaches but also for their fishing. You can catch salmon, trout, yellow perch. The list goes on and on but the adrenaline from the catch makes it all worth the wild.

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.

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.

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.

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.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.
