To my graduating friends,

Thanks for being amazing. As someone who made friends with people who are almost all older than me in college, the thought of you graduating already after only knowing you for two years is tough. It is something I have avoided thinking about and the time to face this reality has approached quicker than I could have ever imagined.

Despite the fact that I am going to miss seeing you all the time, I am so unbelievably proud and happy for you. This is a big accomplishment and I have been there for the last two years as you completed your higher level classes and the most difficult times of your college career. I know how challenging it was at times and that makes me even more proud. You are already moving on to some amazing things that you have lined up for post-graduation as well and I could not be happier for you.

Thank you for being such a great friend to me from the beginning when I was a first-semester freshman just trying to figure everything out and find my way. We have so much in common and we are so similar. We just clicked from the beginning, which was so refreshing compared to other people I met at the start of college. Knowing I can count on you and that you are always someone I can turn to is something I appreciate so much.

Thanks for giving me the best advice especially when it comes to school. I can honestly say that without your help, I probably would have made some poor decisions about professors, classes, dorms, majors, schedules, and other specifics of life at Rhode Island College. I have seen so many people who have no idea what they are doing because no one ever told them the ins and outs of RIC. I am so grateful that I have you in my life to steer me away from terrible professors, bad classes, etc.

Overall, I wish we were graduating at the same time but I know we will still be friends even after your graduation. I cannot thank you enough for being in my life and for becoming such a great friend. I am so proud of you and am excited to experience many more laughs and great times with you in the future!

Congrats grad!!! YOU DID IT!

Love,

Danielle

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.

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.
