A Thank You To Man's Best Friend
Writer

Your best friend. No, I don't mean the person who will be your bridesmaid at your wedding, I mean your dog. Man'sbest friend. As an owner, We can never thank our goofy pals for the endless amounts of love they give us. Even if we shoo them away after a long day of school, or yell at them for sneaking into your room for stealing your socks and underwear, they're the one who will still be trying to jump up on your lap (even if they weigh 100 pounds) and show their affection. Dogs are one of the most under-appreciated pets because of the fact they care more about their owners than they care about themselves.


Personally, My dog is one of the dumbest dogs out there. He will run into walls, trip over his two front feet, and deal with endless amounts of hearing "Barney! What the hell do you think you're doing??" Don't get me wrong, I've had dogs since I was born and without them in my life, my life would definitely not be as happy. My goofball of a dog with a shaking head at all times, has managed to put a smile on my face just by simply handing me a stuffed chew toy of his, wanting me to run after him with it or waited for 2 hours just to watch me walk off the bus and ensure I was safe in the house.

Us humans are definitely not grateful enough for our pets, nor do we even deserve the amounts of love a dog will give us, but luckily we are granted the ability to keep them as pets. Thank you to all of the dogs, who have ran to us, knocked us over, and attacked us with kisses. We sure don't deserve you, but we sure need you.

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

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.
