11 Truths Every Vermonter Knows About Free Cone Day

Huffington Post

Everyone and their mother show up for free cone day. I mean, who wouldn't want free Ben & Jerry's? We are all used to waiting in line for at least a half an hour, and it's all worth it in the end. Get bored? They have employees coming around with ice cream facts!

2. You will get multiple ice creams during the day

What's so wonderful about this is that you can get in line as many times as you want...or as much ice cream your stomach can handle

3. You have been going ever since you were little

It doesn't matter how old you are, everyone loves Ben & Jerry's. I remember going for dessert with my family because it's an all day event!

4. You see multiple people you know in line

You're from Vermont, of course, you will see people you know!

5. You always get the same flavor

Once you fall in love with a flavor, you always say you will try another, but in the end, you always stick with what you love! For me, that's Cherry Garcia!

6. You don't need to look at the menu being passed around

There's always a menu being passed down the line to tell you what flavors they are serving that day. It usually stays the same every year, unless they have a new flavor they want people to try. Again, once you have fallen in love with a flavor, chances are, you are going to get it every time.

7. You are upset when there is no Ben & Jerry's near you

No one else understands the struggle of not being able to go to Free Cone Day. Like it should be a National Holiday

8. You have it marked on your calendar months in advance

APRIL 4TH BABY!!!

9. Calories don't count today

*Scoff* What are calories, there's no such thing!

10. You've skipped work/class to get ice cream

It was the best feeling in the world junior/senior year in high school when my friends and I were finally allowed to leave campus during school hours. It came in handy for Free Cone Day because we definitely skipped classes that year to go get ice cream

11. You pile an illegal amount of people in your car to go

I couldn't tell you exactly how many people, but it definitely looked like a clown car when we all got out.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
