Dear Future Soulmate,

For starters, you are a saint for agreeing to spend the rest of your life with me. Honestly, I can't think of one person who can say, "Yes, that girl is sane enough for you to spend the rest of your days with," but you did (assuming I do end up with a husband one day!).

I may not know much about you now, but I know enough about myself to know there's at least a few characteristics you have to have to be considered my husband.

For instance, I love that you help me bring out the very best version of myself. It is because when I am with you I realized why no other relationship worked in the past. People are meant to find other people for a reason, including the ones that don't stay in your life. I'm just here to testify that the not-so-lucky ones who didn't make it to your walk down the isle are just proof that they weren't 100 percent you. It is exhausting and a waste of time to try and be someone else, especially in relationships, and that's why finding someone like you lets me know I can be 100 percent myself, and the best version of myself.

To the next item on the agenda, thank you for agreeing to keep my dog as ours. No, I don't have a dog yet, but yes, I am getting one in the very near future. I simply cannot wait any longer, and I also know that as my husband you will accept the fact that my dog is basically my life and soul and practically my child.

Thank you for still agreeing to marry me even after you saw me become the biggest Bridezilla in the world. Not that I'm saying I'm a mean person, but a girl's wedding is really one of the few things in life she has the right to be a complete monstor about, am I right? Girls start planning this very special day in our lives from the time when we are very young and don't even know that cooties aren't a real thing.

Lastly, thank you for being my support system. As a husband I would naturally expect for you to do things like, but not limited to: telling me my stupid ideas are the most brilliant ideas anyone has ever had, continuing to give me compliments even when I don't agree with them because I'll never see myself the way you do, for saying all the meals that I cooked were good, even the ones that were "new experiments", and finally, when I truly and physically cannot support anything else because the world is just too cruel and stressful, I'm thankful to have you by my side to take over the reins because in the end, life isn't fun when you're going at it alone.

Sincerely,

I've Already Picked Out The Flowers For The Tables

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

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.
