Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

3. Thank you for teaching me what real love feels like.

Sometimes your first true love is your best friend. This person picked you, out of everyone else, to be the one they connect most with. Love the crap out of them.

4. Thank you for always making sure I'm safe.

It's calming to know that they will be one of the first to come looking for you if you miss their call.

5. Thank you for going through things with me.

Find the friends that will be supportive when your fish dies.

6. Thank you for teaching me to take care of myself.

Sometimes all you need is someone to remind you to indulge in some of life's finer things.

7. Thank you for going out of your way to make me feel supported.

If a friend does the same embarrassing thing as you just to make you feel less alone, they truly care.

8. Thank you for always being there to back me up, even when you know I'm wrong.

A best friend can make you feel confident, even when you're wrong.

9. Thank you for constantly pushing me to live up to my potential.

In the words of Josh Groban, "You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains."

10. Lastly, thank you for making such a huge impact on my life.

If you haven't in a while, tell your best friend you love them.

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.

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.
