Thanks for being you.

A Letter to my Big

Dear Big,

From the moment you were assigned to me as my bid day buddy I knew you were the one. You are the Christina to my Meredith, the Serena to my Blair. You are the one for me. For most girls finding their Big is a frustrating process. You don't know if they want you back or if it is okay to ask them what they are feeling. Most girls aren't as lucky as we are. The second week of school we met up after our 9 AMs and sat outside of Atkinson's Hall and decided to be Big and Little. The weeks to come were filled with breakfast dates, sleepovers and sitting upstairs talking while everyone else was getting their party on in the living room downstairs.

It's funny because they say, "When you know, you know," frequently that applies just to marriage, but honestly, I feel like it perfectly describes our situation. I feel like finding you to be my big was one of the most exciting moments of my freshman year, so far. Waiting for Big/Little Reveal and to officially be a member of your family felt like an eternity. When Big/Little finally arrived you really went above and beyond each day. From the Sunday before when you decorated my door with my face, to the excessive amounts of cookies and Reese's cups, to the lion costume you made me wear for Reveal you really out did yourself.

The day of Reveal all I could think about was going to the house, picking up my costume and running out to you and my new family members. Walking over to the house in my velvet lion costume definitely caused some people to stare on campus, but you know what at least I got to do it with my sisters. That's one of the best things about being in a sorority, even if you look like a complete doofus you can't feel weird because you're doing it with your sisters. When we finally lined up in our order I was the first to run out. The wait was finally over, we were family.

Thank you, for always being there for me. I am so happy that Jesus, Delta Zeta, and I guess Kennesaw Mountain High School for bringing you to me. I'm so pumped to call you my Big. In high school, if someone had told me that you were going to my Big I probably would have laughed, but we are perfect for each other. I feel bad for other people when we are around each other. I am so glad I found someone who shares my love of crafts and awkward dancing. You are my best friend and I wouldn't trade you for food or money.

Love,

Your Little

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.

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.

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.
