To The Ex-Bestfriend I’m Still Cheering For
Kaylyn Atchison

I've been contemplating this letter for a while now after seeing how good you're doing at your university and how you've made good friends and also because of how I miss you. I'm not writing this out of spite or jealousy I'm just trying to write to get it off my mind. So, here goes. To my ex-best friend I want you to know that I'm sorry for the way we ended things. I'm sorry I would've rather hung out with a boy who didn't give a crap about me rather than hanging out with you. I'm sorry for the nights that I was too busy dealing with my own crap that I wasn't there for you and yours. I'm sorry I didn't listen anytime you ever told me to leave a stupid boy because he was treating me like trash. I'm sorry for the little fights we used to get in for absolutely no reason even though with time we would get over it. I'm sorry for the way I was to you when you were always there for me. But, I'm happy to see how you've made friends at your university. I'm happy to see that you are finally growing away from home rather than staying at home. You've always been a free spirit and I knew you wanted to get away. I'm happy you aren't trying to hang out with stupid boys from our high school anymore. I'm happy to see when you post a Snapchat story smiling or hanging out with your new friends. We grew apart, but that doesn't mean I can't still cheer for you from afar.

I miss the times we had in class or out of class. I miss driving around or going to Steak N Shake with the boys. I miss the fun times we had even though they're over now. I really wish things wouldn't have turned out like they did, but they did. Thanks for continually still liking my Instagram pictures and whatever else of mine you like. I'm happy that you seem happy. I'm happy to know that you've made friends where you are currently. And you seem mostly content with your life. Your free spirit and soul will take you wherever you want to go and you will always have fun with it. We may not be best friends anymore, but I will always be cheering you on because I never wanted things to end the way they did.

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.
