To the guy that came out of nowhere:

I’m scared

I’m scared of getting hurt because let’s face it, guys suck. They are manipulative and inconsiderate of most of my feelings. I’m scared of getting attached to you and then you just disappearing. So just hang in there with me, if you're in this, I will be too, but be patient with me. I’m fragile. You are in my life for a reason, and I wouldn’t keep you around if I didn’t think you were worth it. I wouldn’t introduce you to my family and closest friends if I didn’t think this was serious. I take relationships very seriously, and I hope you do too.

I’m excited

I’m excited to face this journey with you and to see where it leads. We’ve already had so many great times together in just the short time we’ve been together so that shows me that there will never be a dull moment in our relationship, and I love that. You always keep me on my toes and I love to hear stories about your life. I’m excited to get to know every little detail about your life, and to share the same with you.

I really like you

Like I said, you truly came out of nowhere and I never expected this to take off like it did. The more time we spend together and the more we talk to each other the more and more I like you and want to know more. I’m so glad I have you to do life with and make so many memories with!

You are special

You are truly something special to me. I never knew something could just be so natural and fun and just plain good. Our relationship is so much more than I could’ve ever planned or expected. You are so easy going and really balance out my extremely extroverted personality and that is something that I have searched for. We balance each other out so well and that is something truly special.

I’m so thankful for God’s timing

God knew exactly what he was doing when he put you in my life. I’ll be forever thankful that I told someone I thought you were cute because if I wouldn’t have, there is no telling where we would both be. I’m thankful God gave me the courage to step outside my comfort zone and go for you, even if I thought there was no way you’d like me. But look at us now, a dynamic duo and partners in crime.

Thank you for being you, all the time. I couldn’t ask for anything more special than you.

xoxo, Rachel

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.

Told through Parks & Recreation GIFs

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.
