To My Best Friend’s Mom,

I know where my best friend got all her best characteristics, where she learned to be caring, compassionate, and let’s face it, a little bit crazy. She got all that, and more, from you! So thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, thank you for inspiring and constructing such a wonderful human being.

Without your dedication to your daughter’s upbringing, I would not have the incredible friend that I do today. Only a wonderful mother, like yourself, could have taught her the value of being a good listener, giving solid advice, and keeping secrets until the end of time. Girls don’t just naturally learn those types of things, they learn from example. Lucky for me, my best friend got to learn from the very best example, you! I know this to be true because when I am out to dinner with you when you come visit your beloved daughter at school or when you graciously host me for a weekend visit I see all my favorite parts of a best friend in you as well! Spending time with both you and your daughter always means double the laughs, double the memories, and of course, double the fun!

Thanks for being a cool mom!

I’ve learned so much from my best friend and I know I have you to thank for that. Thank you for teaching your daughter how to do laundry, how to best reheat pasta, how to sew on buttons, and how to bravely kill spiders. Because of all the wisdom you so graciously passed on down to your daughter, I have spent a lot less time googling answers to embarrassingly simple questions. Also, thank you for teaching your daughter that there is no such thing as a stupid question because she doesn’t laugh at me when I ask if I can microwave my leftover pizza in tin foil. I know I have you to thank for that because when she logically explains how that could start a fire, I don’t feel as dumb as I should because she speaks with such understanding.

Thank you for raising one of the kindest, funniest, most beautiful, most intelligent human beings I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. It may not have been easy but let me tell you, it was more than worth it and for that I am forever grateful for. Thank you for leading my example. Thank you for raising an intelligent young woman who values quality over quantity, brains over beauty, and friendship over fortune. Thank you for helping her make all the right choices that led her path to cross with mine. But most of all, thank you for being you because without my best friend’s mom I wouldn’t have a best friend.

With love,

Your Daughter’s Forever Thankful Best Friend

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.

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.
