Like most adults, I have to go to work every day and like everyone, I dread going to work. The thought of it just makes exhausted, but I go to be able to pay my bills, buy groceries and gas, and be able to do fun stuff on my days off. The only thing that really motivates me to go to work are my coworkers (well besides money lol). They just make my day so much better and they make time pass so much faster. These are the ways they make work fun.

1. They have interesting conversations.

With my coworkers, I learn something new every day. Whether it is about what classes they are taking this semester or what hobby they are into now, we always have fun and interesting topics to talk about. We either end up being super intrigued or we just end up laughing about whatever we are talking about.

2. HOT GOSSIP.

We always get together and gossip about celebrities or people... and it is so much fun! We always get the juicy details of everything we saved for each other. We love trying to figure who's dating and who's not. This helps pass the time faster because we get so caught up in doing research and finding out some more information.

3. We help each other out.

When times get tough, we always have each other's backs. I love how we all literally work as a team and help each other out. My favorite part is how none of us expect anything in return. Sometimes if one of us is weeded, the other will rush and help us out without being asked and I am so grateful for that because I have never worked in a place where the coworkers actually work together.

4. We get frustrated at the same things.

When it comes to working at a restaurant, there are a lot of things that can make us frustrated. Number one on the list is the customers - they easily push our buttons and we all can relate to this. When we are frustrated, we are able to get everything off our chests by just talking to each other. A pair of listening ears can go so far and my coworkers make the best ones.

5. We take time creating secret menus.

Whenever it is slow at work or we are really hungry, we go through the menu and try to see what concoction we can make with the certain foods. It is also loads of fun because we are able to try the foods we have combined. Some of them are delicious, some of them are atrocious. But its OK, it is all good times.


Work sucks, but the employees there make it so much more worthwhile. They make me excited to go to work and I just love spending time with them. They are the best friends I didn't expect to meet. I can't ask for better coworkers and I don't even need to.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

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.
