Open Letter To The Love of My Life
Kaylee Alvarez

I promised you I'd put it down in words someday. I guess today is that day. This is your letter. You know who you are. You are the perfectly lit bath of light that is cast down on Earth from the moon at 4 A.M. You are every color of the sun rise and every star in the night sky, shimmering beautifully but only truly seen in the darkest, quietest of moments. You are hope when there is nothing more, the glue when my heart was tore. I promised you I'd put my love for you down in words someday. It may be too late, but today is that day.

Pain didn't feel like pain anymore, no it did not. Pain was only temporary with you. I knew that anything I had to fight or feel, I would never feel it or fight it alone again. Your sharp, but subtle hazel, eyes never fail to suck me in like the dangerous black hole they had created in my life. I could fight all day with you. However, the minute I locked eye contact from across the room with you, my head was silent and a gradual smile would appear on both of our faces. Everything but the raging of my heart beat was silent. You had a way with me like nobody else ever did. Like nobody else probably ever will, my love.

My love for you starts and ends in the most savored of moments with you. You always fit perfectly into my arms. I was a puzzle missing one single piece. You were my piece. Love never felt more like love until I could hold you again. You were my home. You were my solitude. There was never a single reason to feel worried when I was with you because I knew at the end of the day, I had you. Always.

My love continues and never runs dry for you. I would move mountains to be by your side, but this you already know. I couldn't be scared of my depression or constantly anxious with you because you grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. You always grabbed my face when I would look down, pull it up to yours, and gently kiss my forehead. This means everything to me. When I was too scared to seek help, you always found me in the dark with your radiating light. You, nobody else, hold the spot in my heart. Why can't you understand?

You are the perfect drop of water on the single blade of grass in the early morning. You are the kiss of the summer breeze on our late night walks. You are the very first bite of chocolate cake. You are newly washed bed sheets, the smell of a newly bought candle, a breath of fresh air. You are, and always have been, everything perfect in a not-so-perfect world. You are my person.

Nothing sounds as fun without you. The left side of the bed is cold when you aren't here. My life is empty when you're not in it. Come home, for home is wherever I'm with you (get it?).

Now, I don't just say things to have words come out of my mouth. I don't just talk to hear myself. Everything I say is true, even when I say I know I want to spend my life with you.

I promised you I'd put it in words someday. Well, you've known this next part all along: I love you, I love you more, I love you always, I love you forever, I love you to infinity, I love you to eternity..

I just love you, okay?

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.
