"So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys-to woo women-and, in that endeavor laziness will not do." --Dead Poets Society

With that being said, here are some words for you men to woo us women. Also, finals are coming up so why not impress your professors. I found the majority of these words reading "The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom, also I used the online thesaurus aka google.

1. Harrowing: intense distress

--That bridge is very harrowing.

2. Rapturous: characterized by, feeling or expressing, great pleasure.

--His heart poured out a rapturous reply.

3. Irrepressible: uncontrollable; restrained.

--I was irrepressibly involved with him.

5. Condone: to accept or allow

--I condone your ideas.

6. Stalwart: loyal; hardworking; reliable.

--He is a stalwart worker

7. Mellifluous: a sound that is sweet and smooth; pleasing to hear

--His voice is mellifluous.

8. Gaunt: thin

--That is a gaunt piece of bread.

9. Spurious: false or fake

--Thats a spurious claim!!

10. Ineffable: too great to be expressed in words.

--The natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains is ineffable.

Okay, okay, so you might not be able to use these words in a term paper, but you just learned new words. Yay hooray!

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.

Graduation is coming.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
