To My No Matter What People

There are best friends and then there are your No-Matter-Whats

To My No Matter What People
Anna Jordan

They say there are no guarantees in life, which is true but for me not the case. In my life I can guarantee that if I were to call either of my best friends they would answer. You see I got deeply inspired to write this about my friends when I saw a post on Instagram that really hit home.

"Everybody has a home team: It's the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It's the people who, near or far, know everything that's wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they're at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people."

I could name story after story about my friends and I, unfortunately for you all I am going to most between the few of us.

So this is for you Anna and Rylie. I feel like we go through this everyday because between the three of us we are a very big mess but we wouldn't be us without that mess. I know I can laugh and joke with you guys about some random I met over the weekend and there be no judgment. I know that when any one of us says I want Starbucks it really isn't a suggestion it's more of a 'Are we getting in Fern, Camy or Allen' question. We have our moments of wild and crazy but in the end we keep each other grounded. I act dumb for whatever reason one or the other is going be like 'Yeah no, not happening', and that works each way for the three of us.

I cannot thank either of you enough for loving me everyday even though I am sorta an odd ball. I know that when we are all old and spread across this world we are going to look back on our time together and just die from laughter, I mean for goodness sake we do that now over something that could've happened 5 minutes ago, 5 hours ago or 5 days ago.

I love that when any one of us is mildly stressed (all the time) we just are like dude lets go on the swings and we end up swinging and singing at the top of our lungs what ever song we both know. I love that we can sit down and help each other do homework, unless it is math then that is all you Anna!

You two are unforgettable no matter what day, or time, I know and can trust that you are going to be there and that is something not many get the chance to experience in life, I am so grateful to you both every day.

Let's raise our glasses to our no matter whats because in the end through wild football games and lazy nights I know that you will always be there.

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.

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.
