12 Thank Yous For My College Best Friend

Kelsey Dietrich

College is an overwhelming time. The variety of adjustments that must be made coupled with the necessity of identifying some sort of life plan is plenty to make the head of any young adult spin. What's cool about college is that you are surrounded by all new people and have many opportunities to begin new friendships. College wouldn't be the same without your best friend going through it all right alongside you.

Here are 12 thank yous for my college best friend.

1. Thank you for striking up the first conversation.

Who would have thought that our first conversation would turn into constant conversations?!

2. Thank you for getting through some of the hardest classes with me.

Your companianship was a huge motivating factor to keep me going to class.

3. Thank you for always listening to me.

No matter what the topic or the time of day, I truly appreciate your listening ears all of the time.

4. Thank you for supporting all of my ideas.

Especially as they continued to evolve.

5. Thank you for helping with homework.

Two minds are better than one.

6. Thank you for splitting Chegg .

Desperate times call for desperate measures, so cutting the cost in half is another bonus.

7. Thank you for understanding me.

Being in college at the same time, you also get it.

8. Thank you for loving my family.

Not everyone can say they have an active groupchat with their mom and best friend.

9. Thank you for encouraging me to try new things.

A little push outside of my comfort zone from a supportive source is necessary every once in a while.

10. Thank you for always answering.

FaceTime, texts, snapchats... all were answered even though we had JUST been with each other in real life.

11. Thank you for making some of the best memories with me.

You helped make college even more enjoyable.

12. Thank you for being my best friend all throughout these undergraduate years.

And hopefully for the rest of life!

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.

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.
