An Open Letter To My Outgoing Friend From College

Thank you for the "Greek Life" experience!

An Open Letter To My Outgoing Friend From College
Sarah Grace Bloyd

Let's face it-- if the university offered Greek Life you would be one AMAZING sorority sister. It takes a very outgoing person such as yourself to reach out to freshmen despite your packed schedule filled with campus AND community organizations. I enjoyed our late night heart-to-hearts that would last until 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. Looking back at our first night at UK's CSF, I have realized we have come a long way in our friendship in such a short period of time. From planning trips to Lexington/Nashville, to attending your choir concerts, I can only hope that our friendship will last a lifetime as we continue to fulfill unknown adventures that lies ahead.

With your guidance, I have developed an active social life on campus, from student activities to weekend plans with friends. Thank you for bringing out the extravert in me, and for introducing me to people (one who is among one of the most important people in my life!) that day at Solomon's Porch. Thank you for sharing your Odyssey articles and pursuing your interests in writing, coffee shops, and tea. I cannot wait to hear the great accomplishments and dreams you will achieve during your time in England, as you extend your legacy to the other side of the world! You may never know the gratitude I have that God has placed you into my life. I cannot imagine how my first semester would have gone if you were not part of it. Love you, big!

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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. 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.
