To My Mom As I Leave For My Last Semester Of College

Emily Gauss

You've been there for kindergarten graduation, high school graduation, and soon college graduation. You're the only one who has never faulted in always being there for me. You never missed a large event in my 21 years of life. I can't wait to make you proud with the rest of my life and be able to support you like you have me for so many years.

I have officially started my very last semester of college, graduating a semester early (thank you campbell and ccc). The past 3 1/2 years away from the only constant person in my life has opened my eyes dramatically. Sure, we still argue; we're mother and daughter, it happens. But, in the end I know you will always be there for me.

Thank you for being there through all the heart breaks in middle school, high school, and even college. Thank you for not saying "I told you so" when you were right about the boys who caused said heart breaks. Thank you for always being just a phone call away when you weren't just a hallway away. Thank you for always listening to me. Thank you for always trying to give me advice, even if I didn't want to hear it. Thank you for taking me on endless shopping trips when I thought I didn't have enough clothes (even though I always did). Thank you for being the very best mom you could be. Thanks to you and your support, I will be able to move on in my life whether it be grad school or entering the real world.

As I start my last semester, I realize just how luck I am to have you as my mom. Not everyone has a mother or a good relationship with their mom. I was lucky enough to have a mom and have a best friend wrapped into one. I certainly wouldn't have been able to get through the last 3 years away from you without you to always talk to.

I want you to know how wonderful of a job you did all on your own. You're incredible inside and out. Even on your worst days, you're still the absolute best. Thanks for being you mom. I can't imagine my life without you. I love you to the moon and back times 10.

I love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my mother you'll be.

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

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.
