1. Watch "Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior"

Here is the longest fight scene you'll ever watch in your life (but also the best, obviously).

2. Walk a total of three miles up and down The Short North for literally no reason

But we did get to take the funky photo you see at the top.

3. Spend three hours and buckets of blood, sweat, and tears trying to assemble our LED strip lights and actually get them to work

4. Try out Peace Tea, an iced tea available at the best dining location on campus, Marketplace on Neil

It is very good and we are very obsessed.

5. Communicate with each other exclusively through John Mulaney impressions

6. Host two-person dance parties while blasting AJR and setting our LED strip lights to "seven color strobe flash"

Yes, I know you were worried, but we did finally get them working.

7. Go to Target

Don't worry, our masks were on, because masks do actually help stop the spread of viral infection, in case you are one of those people out there who didn't know.

8. Buy iced coffee at the Starbucks inside Target

See the dance party listed at #6.

9. Bring bath towels out to The Oval at 11 p.m. to lay on while we try to watch Jump In with a shoddy internet connection for 30 minutes, at which point our Sloopy's orders were ready and we went back inside

10. Take a girls' trip to pick up a prescription I accidentally sent to a CVS two miles away

11. Lay in bed for hours complaining about classes starting and coping by sending each other memes

This one still makes us laugh a week after we saw it.

12. Watch "Another Cinderella Story" and laugh the most at Jane Lynch's lines, every single one of which is gold

Here is our favorite scene (just the first 27 seconds).

13. Inspire endless amounts of content for our respective Twitter feeds and private stories on Snapchat

Because I told her I would plug it: follow Sarah on Twitter at @DruhanSarah.

14. Get Jeni's Ice Cream delivered through Postmates for a total of $40

But! The delivery was free.

15. Watch "Looks That Kill," a movie about a guy who has to wear bandages around his face all the time because he is just so gosh darn handsome he kills anyone who looks his way

16. Take out our always-full garbage full of iced coffee cups, Sloopy's takeout containers, and cans upon cans of Peace Tea

Don't worry, the Peace Tea went in the recycling.

17. And throughout it all, the ups and downs, the movies and the Peace Teas, we were truly Together as Buckeyes

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Illistrated image of people crowded with banners to support a cause

StableDiffusion

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

2106

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.

No one best represents the struggle like our favorite 90s squad.

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

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

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.
