To All Of My Friends On The Internet

Does everyone just have THAT group of friends that you only talk to via the internet, but you have never actually met in person?

Social Media Friends

To my internet friends:

Thank you for always favoriting my tweets, liking my Instagram photos, loving my posts on Facebooks, and hyping me up on Snapchat. We have never met and we probably won't ever meet, no matter how many times we say "we need to hang out ASAP," and you know what?

That is okay. I'm way funnier on social media than in person.

To all of my Facebook friends that have been there since the 7th grade whom I have never met, thank you for watching all of my music videos and fights with random girls who have tried to steal a boyfriend of mine in the past.

Comments left on my pictures such as "I wish I could be YOU" and "SLAY ME" have shaped me into the person I am today.

To all of my Twitter friends that followed me during my 5 seconds of fame, thank you for retweeting. For my non-fans, a picture of me on my two-year seizure free milestone got about 65.5k favorites and well over 5k retweet. I will remember you all when I am (hopefully) famous again.

To all of my Instagram friends, thank you for liking me when I'm ugly. Thank you for boosting my self-confidence without even realizing it. You know good and well that I am only wearing that hot outfit for the Gram.

To all of my snapchat friends, you are all my favorite. Thank you for swiping up on my story to compliment my dog or my best friend. To the random dudes who have my snapchat, thank you for being my biggest hype men but for the last time, no, I will not go on a date with you. I am so sorry. Keep being great human beings though. To all of my girlfriends, there is no one more beautiful than you.

Most importantly, if it weren't for Facebook, I would know none of your birthdays. I'm sorry the truth hurts.

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

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.
