Some people think birthdays' are just another day in the year, but personally, I think it is a holiday that should be celebrated. Everyone on this earth is as important as the next. Every year when you celebrate your birthday be thankful because not everyone in this world gets that.

Your birthday is more than a day just to get presents and cake. It is a day to celebrate you, your life, and your accomplishments. You should spend that day reflecting on your life since you were born. You should also spend that day celebrating that you are still living on this earth.

Birthdays are an important day for everyone. Even if it is not an important number, you should still celebrate. For your birthday, the day should be focused on you and what you want to do. In my family, we always take birthdays seriously. Everyone usually gets a cake of their choices and get many presents to open.

It is always fun to have a day that revolves around you. It is always fun to be celebrated once a year. You should have been thankful if you make it to your next birthday. Life will fly by so always enjoy everyone you celebrate.

I have always enjoyed celebrating mine and others' birthday. It is always fun to gather with family and celebrate another year of life for someone. It makes you feel important and loved. Everyone always needs a day with all the attention of them. You only get to celebrate it once a year, so enjoy it.

Your birth was the beginning of you and it was a beautiful process. Birthdays are like celebrating the anniversary of your birth. Everyone should be grateful to make it to another year. It is a special occasion that everyone should get to enjoy once a year.

Your birthday to you should be so much more than getting presents, cake, and a party. It should be you celebrating you making it through another year of life. It should be you celebrating all your wonderful accomplishments since birth.

Not everyone has great parents, that throw them parties so always be grateful that you get presents and a cake. Some people do not even get a happy birthday. Take in every moment on your birthday and always be grateful for being celebrated. It is your birthday so always make it count.

In honor of my birthday, December 19th, 2000.

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.

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.
