The Narrative

1. It's like a nonstop sleepover, but better

Living with your besties is like a sleepover every night, except everyone gets their own room and bathroom, what more could you ask for!

2. You're never alone if you don't want to be

If you're feeling down you've got your girl right down the hall to cheer you up and eat copious amounts of Ben & Jerry's with you. #WeDontJudge #WeJoin

3. Family dinners are back in your life

You can make yummy meals together and talk about your day within the comfort of your home! No more going out and spending money you don't have on food just to see your friends if you don't want to.

4. No one gets mad if you borrow something

Since you genuinely like who you live with, sharing your stuff with them isn't a problem!

5. Going out is so much easier because you're starting and ending at the same place

No lady is left behind because you're all going home anyway!

6. Getting ready for anything is so much more fun

Easily being able to pop into each other's rooms and ask "which one do you like better," is a time saver and style saver.

7. They've got your back

No matter what it is, there's nothing more relieving than sending an "SOS" to the group chat and your roomies responding with a "be home in five."

8. You're free to be your weird self

When you live with your friends you know they already like you for everything you are, so there's no holding back.

9. All of their friends are your friends

Nothings worse than not liking your roommate, but not being able to stand the annoying friends they bring to your place. When you live with your friends more likely than not, the annoying friends they bring over are also your annoying friends, so you don't mind.

10. You stay in more

When you live with your friends every day of the week is a party, so missing a few ladies's nights here or there to chill at home with your roomies is actually ideal.

11. You get to know them even better

They say you don't really know someone until you live with them, and I agree, but lucky for me living with my friends has only made me love them more!

12. They're always down to help a sista out

Need someone to switch your laundry, preheat the oven or feed your guinea pigs? Have no fear ya sista friend is here.

13. You respect each other

I'm a clean freak and my roomies knew that going into this, so they do their absolute best to keep our place in tiptop shape and it means so much to me and my OCD tendencies.

14. "I'm going to Target, anyone need anything?"

Oh, girl, I ALWAYS need something and I will Venmo you right now.

15. Your apartment is SO CUTE

What's better than one decor queen?

Four decor queens???

16. When they take home leftovers, but end up not wanting them

Yes girl, I will gladly take that chicken marsala off your hands.

17. Carpooling has never been easier

Shot gun!

18. They bring out the best in you

After a bad day it's so easy to come home, sit in your room, and be sad, but when you live with your besties you better believe as soon as you walk in the front door your frown is turned upside down

Life's just better when you love who you live with.

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

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.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

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.
