I knew that saying "see you soon" at the end of the summer after we graduated high school would be hard, but I didn't know that the hardest part was what was to come: not seeing you every single day.

I've known you for probably about six years now, and you have been my right-hand and my go-to gal for everything for the last four or so. I've lived with you for two consecutive summers, and I stay with you practically every time I come home from college. We're basically sisters if you ask me.

So I may be used to not going to the same college as you by now, but that does not mean I like it or that it's any easier to leave you when I head back to school after a visit. But I am SO THANKFUL for FaceTime, Snapchat, and our constant texting. But I'm even more grateful that when we don't get to FaceTime or text often because of clashing, busy schedules that we still pick up where we left off.

You are such a gem of a friend, and I truly don't know what I would do without you. I could never thank you enough for each and every thing you've done for me... but I can try to hit on a few of them.

First, I want to thank you for constantly being by my side throughout high school. 

You not only dressed up for spirit days with me but you also were at pretty much every game that I cheered at supporting me. I know you were watching the game, but I also know you were my own cheerleader in the stands. You even came to the homecoming game to support me on homecoming court THE SAME DAY you got your wisdom teeth taken out... that's true friendship!

Secondly, I want to thank you for always being down for a good adventure. 

Traveling is always fun, but traveling with a bestie makes it all the better. But even when we didn't leave home, we still had a good time. I'm so grateful for the many days and nights we have spent shopping, jamming out to throwback music, going to get ice cream, and staying up late talking about who knows what.

Most importantly, I want to thank you for being my sister in Christ. 

It is such a blessing that we click so well as best friends, but what makes it the best is how we hold each other accountable in our faith. I love our time spent at church and in the Word together. (and jamming out to worship music at the top of our lungs) Like seriously, what's better than spending a night Bible journaling with your best friend??

I think one of the hardest things about this long-distance friendship has been that I can't physically be there for you in some of life's hardest and most stressful times to give you a hug and be your shoulder to cry on, which breaks my heart. But it warms my heart knowing your boyfriend, and now one of my good friends, is there for you.

So to the perfect guy for my best friend: thank you for treating my best friend the way she deserves to be treated, thank you for building our friendship rather than making me feel like a third wheel, and thank you for looking out for her when my protective self isn't there to do so. I am super grateful for your friendship.

So, here's to you bestie: thank you so much for everything you've done for me and will do for me in the future. I'm lucky to know you and blessed to call you my best friend!

I miss you, and I'll see you soon!!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.
