In This Article:

Have you ever watched those videos of "the most satisfying" things? They usually include things being perfectly cut and things of that nature. Well, I've compiled my own list of the top 10 most satisfying things now that we're adults.

1. Paying off your credit card bill!

You're finally free to load up that freshly paid off credit card with more useless crap!

2. Waking up and remembering you don't have to work!

Rarely anything ever tops this feeling. Go back to sleep little angel.

3. Reading the last page and finishing a book

Congratulations! You accomplished something! Now read another!

4. Being able to crank that music upppppp!!!!!

As long as the neighbors aren't home...

5. Cranking the car and seeing a full gas tank!

Time for that road trip to Chick-fil-A!

6. Not having to worry about waking anyone up when the microwave beeps!

As a kid, you don't wanna wake anyone up. But if you're an adult and live alone, who cares?

7. Being home alone and basking in the silence!

Hear that...it's bliss.

8. Waking up from a nap and not knowing how long you've been asleep!

Now, wipe those eye boogers and go to the bathroom.

9. Going into a movie, spoiler free!

I can't believe that Bruce Wayne was Batman all along.

10. Leaving work after a long day!

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

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.

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.
