I've always loved kids' things ever since I was a kid, up until now, being 21. A lot of people tell me to grow up. I'm not going to, but here are some ways that prove being immature could make you the best parent ever.

1. Kid movies.

You love watching kid movies, so when they ask to watch Minions for the fifth time this week, you're excited about it too.

2. Movie soundtracks.

This goes hand in hand with number 1. When they ask to hear that one song from Coco for the third time today, you'll most likely want to hear it too. (I mean you'll definitely be singing it all day anyway.)

3. Nap time.

You can take a nap while they are too.

4. Nightlights.

Speaking of sleeping, you might not have to have a scooby doo nightlight, but you need a TV on playing your favorite show that you've seen a million times.

5. Sparkly and glitter-anything.

They see something at the store, and you also are freaking out about it too.

6. Fruity shampoo.

They like having their hair smelling like strawberries and you love having yours smell like green apples.

7. Boy bands.

Even if you can't relate to having girl/boy trouble because you're most likely married, you love listening to your kids' One Direction or BackStreet Boys.

8. Youtubers.

Keeping up with Jake Paul and seeing what he's doing. Ok, maybe not Jake Paul, but whatever Youtuber the kids are into nowadays.

9. Any new trends.

You love staying up to date with things the kids love.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.

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.
