To The Friends I Lost After High School

An open letter to the friends I lost after high school was over.

Dear Old Friends,

I'm sorry things didn't work out after high school ended, but it just became exhausting trying to please every one of you when I wasn't happy myself.

Anything I ever said wasn't good enough.

Anything I ever did for you guys just didn't seem to cut it.

We had made so many amazing memories in just the short amount of time within our high school careers we had with each other. The concerts, the parties, the movie and half-off-apps nights, the random adventures out east for ice cream. Everything seemed so perfect;

Until high school was over.

I always think about the memories we made and shared together. I still miss you all no matter what I've said about any of you after we stopped talking. You were all a major part of my life and you'll always have a piece of my heart no matter what. Sometimes I wish we were still stuck in high school, meeting at our lockers and deciding where to go out for lunch rather than all of it just ending because you all changed when we became official alumni.

I'm sorry if I wasn't a great friend to you while we were still in contact.

I'm sorry if you got mad at me for something I said.

I'm sorry if I never asked how you were if you were sad.

I am only human and I can only try to be the best friend a girl can be.

I can never look back at prom or graduation pictures and think, "wow I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends like that in my life."

You're all gone.

Most of you are all away at college and I guess you could say it made the transition easier, but in reality it didn't.

I would wish you all nothing but the best of luck in the years to come and maybe someday we can all work out our differences and reconnect.

Love,

Your Old Best Friend

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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. 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.
