Dear You,

I don't have words to express the sadness I feel knowing that soon enough, I won't be able to call you mine. Knowing that I won't wake up to "Good morning" texts, or get "Goodnight, I love you" texts before I fall asleep. I am heartbroken, but I am okay. I have told you time and time again that I trust you and I trust your judgement. If this is what you need, I am going to support in anyway that I can. After all, I still love you and want life to get better for you.

Thank you for the impact you have made on my life since you entered it in the sixth grade. Thank you for being my friend when no one else was because I was the "weird new girl" at the school. Thanks for being someone in junior high and high school that I could talk to about Batman and whatever other nerdy things I used to be really into. Thank you for making an effort to re-enter my life when I went to college, I still want to apologize for ditching you that one day. I seriously had so much homework to do. Thank you for being patient with me, and hanging out with me once I came home for the summer. Thank you for being the first guy to have me over and not expect sex from me. Thank you for introducing me to Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball Z, and The Office. Thank you for the late nights at Steak N Shake and Pokemon hunting. Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick and rubbing my stomach when my cramps were really bad. Thank you for everything, thank you for raising my dating standards. Thank you for showing me what I am worth and constantly encouraging me to be better. Literally, thank you for being you.

I have told you this before, but I have never connected with someone the way I have connected with you. I think that's why losing you is going to be rough, but in the end I will be okay. We will be okay. Whether that means we get back together, or just become really good friends. I don't want to lose you all together, and that's why I am going to be mature about what's going to happen between us next. I will give you space, I will give you time, I will give you everything you need.

I am choosing to be mature here, rather than causing a problem. I am choosing to understand where you are coming from, and I am proud of myself for that. I am happy that we are able to be adults about this, even if it's rough. At this point, I don't have much else to say. Although I am hurt, I want you to know that I will be okay. I might cry, I might be sad for awhile, but eventually I will be back to my happy optimistic self.

You will always hold a place in my heart, I hope you are aware of that.

Love Always,

Lexxie

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.

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."

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.
