The day that my best friend gets swept off her feet is going to be one of the scariest and most trusting days of my life.

Not only will she be falling, but she will be waiting for you to catch her.

She has been strong, independent and has lived happily for so long before you. I need you to know that. She is not some girl that strives for a relationship or even thinks of them in any higher regard than most people do. She pities those that are lost in a love that isn't healthy and protects herself against those that are not worthy of her time or vulnerability.

So you lucky man, you are it, huh?

You're the one that's making her change her mind. You are the one that is making her let go of her timidity and clutch onto the hope that you are legitimate in your feelings toward her.

Well, for your sake, I truly hope you are. You are sweeping away my best friend. And that is something you need to understand is both the most terrifying and exhilarating thing to watch happen.

You are making her smile. You are making her feel prettier than she ever has. Your attention and your care is making her relax in her own skin, and you're slowly breaking down those protective walls.

You are going out of your way to make her day better. You are putting her first. I never want you to change that.

This girl deserves the world and more. This girl is the girl I talked through heartache with, and this girl is the person I share my fears with.

I fear you'll break her heart. But I am putting faith in the idea that you wouldn't have any reason to because look at her, isn't she beautiful?

This girl is fearless. She will not put you first, she will strive to always put herself above others. This is courageous and not a flaw, but she sees her success and career as the thing that's going to make her happy and fulfilled. So not ruin that... though her view may change when meeting you.

She is ambitious as hell and she will work until she gets where she wants to be.

She is not looking for her "other half," in fact I think she finds that pretty nauseating (as do I).

She's looking for another whole. Someone that doesn't need her but sticks around anyway. Someone that has their own dreams and ambitions like her own that doesn't question her desires and her work ethic.

You must know that no matter what, she will be scared. She will be scared when she meets you, scared of the butterflies and of the love she starts to feel. She'll be scared to be vulnerable and annoyed if she ever cries over you because she'll be worried you're like the others that made her cry.

Prove that you aren't. If you attempt to, I'll be on your side. (Something you'll appreciate someday.)

Treat her with the respect you have for your mother, love her with passion you would if you had Jennifer Aniston in your arms, and laugh with her like you've known her your whole life.

Maybe then we can both tag-team and get her to realize at some point in her life, the true beauty she holds behind her whole being.

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.

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.
