A Letter To My Twin

If you're reading this, it's not too late.

Dear Twin,

Well we do not really look much alike. We don't have the same last name either. We biologically are not even related, but you are my twin and I will love you more than you will ever know.

You will always be the Ivory to my Ebony, sweet thang. There is no one else I would rather run over curbs with in Big Bertha (your jeep). Or get whip lash due to your extremely sharp turns. It's okay, being a good driver isn't everything in life.

I don't have a Range Rover or a tattoo on my shoulder, but I'll always be closer to you. With that being said, you can always leave a toothbrush at my place. Or maybe I should just leave mine at yours... I do practically live there at times.

The first time we met was the most awkward encounter of my freshman year. It has made for many laughs today though. You went from being the girl I got lost with on campus, to my best friend. I am so thankful for that night and our sorority bringing us closer.

I will always hold your hand in public when you want or to just embarrass you, whichever tends to come first. What are twins for?

Thank you for watching me ugly cry like Kim Kardashian and not judge me for it. There is no one else I would want to pick me up at 1am just to let me vent. Also, thank you for letting me know the guy that broke my heart was never worth it.

Having you by my side has made the college experience a little more easier and much more fun. There is no one else half my size I would rather chest bump. Or spend my entire Saturday morning searching for because I accidentally lost you. Shout out to the Find My Friends app, we will never lose each other again.

I will always be around to quote That 70's Show and support even your bad decisions. Remember all of those? Yeah its okay, lets not.

You have stuck it out with me the past two years, I hope you can stick around for a lifetime. I mean who else is going to make fun of my kids and take them turkey hunting?

Thank you for giving me memories that I can never forget. Some of which can never be shared in an article. Thank you for fighting with me like a sister and literally being my twin.

You are my person and I will always be yours. There is no one else on this earth that I can connect with more. I will love you as my best friend forever and always.

Love,

Your Twin

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.

No one best represents the struggle like our favorite 90s squad.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

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.

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.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
