My Pet Rats Make The Best Emotional Support Animal

I've had my pet rats for a little while now and I absolutely adore them, but there are so many other things about them and their personalities that people could love.

I recently got two pet rats and I absolutely love them. They make me feel so happy having them around and bring much joy to both me and most of those around me.

I got them because I wanted an animal that would make me feel happier and so that I could be happy while I was away at college. They are meant to be my emotional support animals and they'll end up loving with me. So far, it's been really easy to take care of them and they are so adorable when I play with them.

I have two Male rats named Remy and Dobby. Remy is black and white while Dobby is orange and white. Remy is pretty outgoing while Dobby is a little skittish. They love to chew on their toys and sleeping in their hammock. Raisins are their favorite treats, but they also love eating carrots with their regular pellet food.

Though, many people think poorly of the thought of having a pet rat, I absolutely love them. Most believe they're disease ridden. Rodents and that they're disgusting. But their is a difference between wild rats and domestic rats. One could have rabies and isnt friendly while the other is cute, friendly, and adorable. Many have negative viewpoints of them, but I'm sure if they met a domestic pet rat they'd change their attitude towards them.

Pet rats are great pets to have because of their good nature, personality, and ability to learn what they are taught. Some of the people I've introduced to my pet rats changed the way they thought about them and they find them really cute now. I can't wait to show them all the kindness in the world and spoil them. They only live a couple years, but I'll make it the best years of their lives.

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.

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.
