An Open Letter To My Roommate

Thanks for the fun, the laughs, the support, and the chocolate chip pancakes.

An Open Letter To My Roommate
Her Campus

Dear Brianna,

Over the past 4 months of being roommates, it has been full of fun, laughs and support. When we decided to be roommates we didn’t know each other very well, but I have been so fortunate to get to know you. Now that we have been together for this adventure, I cannot imagine living with anyone else. Thank you for always being there with a smile and putting up with all of my craziness.

At first neither of us really knew what we were getting into, just that we were new AGD sisters with a shared love of band and The Flash. Once we moved in together, it was obvious that we make great roommates. I’m lucky to have found a friend who is just as weird and geeky as I am, with a love of BBC shows, Marvel, reading, musicals, etc. We had our “Did we just become best friends” moment almost as soon as we moved in when we realized we were in almost all of the same fandoms. Something brought us together and now I don’t think anything can tear us apart. Not even if The Doctor decided only one of us could travel with him. Actually maybe not. Sorry, not sorry.

It doesn’t feel like we have been living together for 4 months, but it really has been a full semester. There’s been weekends of adventure where we go out and do fun things for a change. We have had lots of nights of homework and stressing where we somehow manage to pull through. Thank you for helping me relax and take a few seconds to just chill. We watched a lot of DC shows, and a lot of Netflix. Plus a lot of chocolate chip pancakes.

You are my mom away from home, you take care of me even though you don’t have to. Making sure I don’t stay out too late, and I eat enough food. And the right food, some of the time anyway. Asking how my day went, or what I have to do for the rest of the night. Its nice to have someone that looks out for me. Thank you for caring for me, even when I don’t realize I need it.

I don’t know how you put up with me, I am definitely not an easy person. I laugh way too much and way too loud. I snore. I never leave my bed. Sometimes I have a little bit too much energy (if an awake bar happens to affect me badly), or too little. Sometimes you can be a handful though, too. Like those nights when it's 2 am and you can’t stop talking. But it's not just you, it's both of us, babbling in our giddy, giggly voices, exhausted but so giggly we have talk it out.

Having someone there to always have a laugh, or a cry with makes a big difference when I am stressed out and panicking. I hope that I make as much as a difference in your life as you do in mine. Thank you for being one of my best friends, and the best roommate a girl could ask for.

Thanks for sticking with me for so long and being such an incredible friend. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our roommate years have in store.

Loyally,

Your Loving and Annoying Roommate

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.

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.

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.
