To My Common Room Girls

I couldn't have done it without you, thanks for a memorable freshman year <3

May 05, 2019

To My Common Room Girls,

Thank you. Without you, I am not sure how I ever would have survived freshman year. Thank you for the endless laughs and naps that always lasted too long. Thank you for making trillers, accidentally breaking chairs, binging movies, escaping the bubble, and making daily C-Store runs with me. But don't worry Mom & Dad, we studied too :) There is no one else I would ever want to get noise complaints with, or just about die on the swing with. Each and every one of you are so incredibly special, and make my life so much better. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we all started spending time in the common room because we are meant to be lifelong friends (ps can't wait for your weddings!!). The common room truly became our place. We have spent too many hours to count out there, but it is the place where we all came together; to laugh, to rant, to procrastinate, but more than anything to feel whole. When life gets busy, and I don't get to come over one day, I feel as though I am missing something; a part of me. You bring endless smiles and joy into my life, and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for going to chapel with me, for suffering through the cafe with me, and for always keeping me up to date with the ~wom com drama~. From surprises in Charlotte, to Plato's closet trips, dunks runs, and all of the other spontaneous adventures, I loved every second. Even when we lost power, we danced in the rain during the hurricane, and made the most out of every second. Without y'all life would be boring.

From walks to class to late night drives and everything in between, I will never ever forget the memories we made together. I don't quite know how we are supposed to go a summer without each other.... so it's time we start booking flights and planning road trips! If they fix the common room door to lock again, and we can't get in to wom com next year, we will just have to figure it out, and find a new place, because the common room is wherever you are <3

Love you all endlessly, thank you for an unforgettable freshman year.

Much Love,

Hannah Rose

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

2184

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.
