An Open Letter To My Sister From Another Mister

Erica Beth Cruice - Personal Photos

To the girl who I know will be around forever,

We're currently sitting in a Starbucks in "your" city and I can't help but take in the amazing relationship we have. This is my second trip to see you within the last three months and the fourth within the last three years and I am still amazed at the fact that we can sit and catch up as if not a single second has passed. You can pick me up from literally JUST coming into town and hours later it feels like you picked me up from my house. The bond we have is something that I still can not fathom, even after ten years of friendship.

To this day and every day in between, I am still in awe of the person you are. From achieving your dreams, to finding new ones, you always seem to amaze me more and more each day. And it's bizarre because somehow, someway I'm still surprised at the things you can achieve. You have the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met. The way you talk about your family with such love and devotion is incomparable. And the way you devote yourself to every little thing within your life is inspiring.

I like the fact that we can live almost 700 miles apart, go months without saying a word to each other, and the second we sit next to each other it is like we haven't seen each other in two days. I like the fact that we have literally grown up with each other and we haven't grown apart. I like the fact that we have grown into different people than we were when we met and our sense of humor is still somehow the same. I like the fact that we can joke about how eerily similar our families are and not bat an eyelash about it.

But most importantly, I love the person I am when I'm around you. You make me want to be better, do better, and achieve more. The love I have for you is one that I know will literally last a lifetime. You're the person I will be with if and when we don't get married. You're the person I want to call and plan out our future with. You're the person I want to live next door to for the rest of my life. You're the one person outside of my family that I know will always be in my life.

Let's be real, you're my soulmate and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Love,

The girl you're never getting rid of

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.

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.
