Why You Should Live With Your Best Friends In Your Twenties

Your twenties are your adventure years. These are the years to stay out til 6 a.m. when you are supposed to be waking up at 7 a.m., to live off of McDonald's at 11 at night, and to spend the little bit of money you do make at your minimum-wage job on once in a lifetime adventures. The only thing more important than making sure you do these kinds of things is making sure you have the best kind of people surrounding you to do these things with. In your twenties, your best friends basically become your lifeline once you finally move out of your parents' house and live on your own. No need to take on this new stage in your life and go through it alone when you can move in with your best friends who are going through the same transitions. It's not guaranteed every time, but for the most part moving in together will strengthen your friendship.

When you decide to move in together

When it's actually move-in day

The glorious moments when you no longer have to get ready to go out by yourself

Dance parties anytime you want

Going insane at the bar/fraternity houses when they play your favorite song that you always have to blast through the house

Suddenly your closets just all merge together and you never have to wear the same thing twice again

They get your brand of humor

You don't even have to wait for them to respond to your texts because you can just go to their room

They love you despite knowing what you look like first thing in the morning

You can be as needy as you want and no one outside of the comfort of your abode has to know

They'll go to the ends of the earth for you, even with ridiculous requests

When you're sick but at least one of your roomies has watched Grey's Anatomy all the way through so she can basically diagnose you

They're the closest people who understand how neurotic your family is without being in your family

You basically become kind of famous because they always put you in their Snapchat story

They'll always have your back

Even if you're being self-destructive and not yourself

You are constantly surrounded by people who love you and only want the best for you

So why struggle through these years of firsts alone when you can conquer them with your best friends?

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.
