Top 5 Things I Miss From High School

In This Article:

1. My friends, obviously.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I haven't really gotten to see my friends. I miss eating lunch with them every day and making jokes in classes. Aside from a Krispy Kreme trip to get free donuts with some friends, I haven't left the house much either.

2. Lunches

Yes, the food could be a bit sketchy at times, but I still miss the routine. Chicken Patty Wednesdays were more reliable than anything else at school. The food was consistently okay. Now that school isn't in session, my eating habits have gotten all kinds of messed up.

3. Band

I love music so much, so not being in band class every other day is tough. I miss all the bus rides and funny memories, which are included in the coveted "funny folder" that gets passed down every time the holder graduates.

4. Teachers

I know, I know. Teachers are terrible and give out homework and all that, but I had several teachers that were there for me when my own friends weren't. I had about three teachers that I could regularly talk with to have mini therapy sessions.

5. Sporting Events

Now, coming from a small town, we absolutely love to go to sporting events to support our players. I have done many sports over the years, but even when I'm not participating on the court or field, there is a certain energy that you can feel when the crowd truly supports the players.

Now, those are the top 5 things that I missed from high school, but I look forward to making new friends and memories as I move on to the next phase of my life.

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.

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.
