I Would Sell My Left Kidney For Jimmy John's Turkey Tom

The underdog of late-night orders.

It's 2 AM, you've got two finals in the morning, and all you wanna do pass out and die for what little time you can before you get thrown into the wringer that is life before exams.

Now, on top of all that, you're reaching that point of the night where you're getting hit with hunger you wouldn't have realized was affecting you had you done what normal people do and slept at a reasonable time. With the regrets running through your mind, caloric intake becomes less and less of a factor as a desire for instant dietary gratification begins to be the only priority.

Beginning study break number 47 you begin looking through all the options for late night delivery —Dominos, Cottage Inn, and Pizza House being the local go-to's for University of Michigan— I argue that there is another, very under-appreciated option that many are quick to overlook.

Jimmy John's.

Now hear me out. While a cold sub may not seem like something to out do a good ol' slice of pizza or take-out pasta — there's a magic to that sandwich that makes it a craving to scratch the itch you never knew was needed scratching. Of all the things you ever thought you needed, this one tops the list of unknown unknowns.

The #4 Turkey Tom. Turkey breast topped with lettuce, tomato, and mayo preferably served on some nice french bread for that nice and crisp flavor. The entire sandwich, with its 4 simple ingredients, seems like nothing much but the tender combination of the turkey breast alongside mayo augmented tomatoes and lettuce makes for nothing short of a masterpiece. The cold cut state of the sandwich only lengthens the lifespan of the glorious 'wich before its inevitable and swift consumption at your hands.

It's that sneaking desire that you've got hidden behind your craving for pizza and take-out pasta, a life-enhancing experience just awaiting your call.

Give it a shot, I'm telling you it'll be worth it.

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.

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.
