Why My Boyfriend is Better Than Everyone Else

Anyone that knows me, knows that my other half, my boyfriend, is my partner in crime. We’re always together – not because we’re clingy (even though we kinda are), but because we genuinely enjoy each other’s company, and never get enough of seeing each other. So for everyone that has ever wondered why he’s so magical, here’s a list why.

1. We talk about absolutely everything, all the time.

Got a new pair of shoes? He knows about it. Bombed my test? He knows about it. I’m mad at him? He knows about it. When we talk all day, we don’t have room for miscommunication or for lapse in communication because we talk to each other all the time and it’s fun. We like it. We enjoy it. It’s never a burden to hear from P; I’m excited every time I see a text or a call from him. After a long day of work, each person gets a chance to rant, and we’re actively hating each other’s mortal enemies. We’re involved in each other’s lives and we want to be. Each day is adventure and we can’t wait to share it with each other.

2. We share the same, stupid sense of humor.

Laughter is one of the biggest parts of my life. Often, due to high levels of stress, I laugh instead of cry, and often, he’s making me laugh. He knows when I need to a video of a turtle singing a song. He knows when I need to watch the Office for 15 hours straight. We know which memes to send when we’re down, and which videos will make the other choke on air.

3. He throws shade. I throw it right back.

Trash-talking and pettiness have a strong presence in my life. I’m a little ashamed to admit that, also not. I refuse to date someone that I can’t practice talking trash with! It’s a part of life. Evidently, it was important enough to include on this list. For the entire world to see.

4. We have the same values and cherish the same things.

I have extremely different values than many people. I don’t accept blood under any circumstance. I don’t celebrate holidays. I need to eat raw cookie dough daily. I live to help underserved and underrepresented groups, whether I share their beliefs or not. He respects it. He values it. He values me. Even if we don’t agree on some things or have the exact same opinions on everything, it doesn’t matter because the big things are rock solid and strong. They’re undebatable and do not need to be debated.

5. He never puts me in impossible or uncomfortable situations.

As easy as this should be in every relationship – it isn’t for some people. Some people get into frequent situations where the person they love puts them in these tricky predicaments – situation that they cannot navigate. I’d argue, that being put into that situation is not love. Love does not deliver ultimatums. Love isn’t stringent. Love is long-lasting. Love is honesty. Love is valuing someone’s time and respecting them enough to never box them, especially when the society we live in does that on a daily basis.

6. He’s not intimidated by my success; he’s inspired by it.

I’m a powerful woman! Whether or not I always have confidence in myself, I never stop having confidence in my abilities. I’m an Honors student. I’m a campus leader. I’m strong. I have an even stronger resume that I’ve worked hard for. I am ambitious and I do my best to reach half of my ambitions. He gets that, and he never makes me feel bad for being intelligent. He never makes me feel bad for us going to be Mr. and Dr. XYZ. He’s proud of me and that encouragement means everything.

7. He loves me, even when I refuse to love myself.

No matter how down I feel, or how much I downplay myself, he sees me for all the good that I possess. He knows how to show me love and how to make me see what he sees in me, and I honestly believe that he has special powers. I love him, even when I hate everything in the world.

8. He’s an idiot, but he’s my idiot. He is my best friend in the entire world.

And I couldn’t imagine living in a world that he isn't in.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

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.
