As the girl who identifies as a plant mom since I'm not ready for pets, I can verify that I have, in fact, said all of these things. So, if you suspect you may be a little bit more than a plant lover, check this list and see if you have said these things too.

1. Okay, do NOT let me get another plant

Giphy

Yeah...good luck stopping them.

2. Well I can go and just LOOK...

Giphy

This is your first mistake. You never JUST look at the cute baby plants.

3. *GASP* Look how cute this one is!

Josie Murray

The tiny plants are extremely cute...that's how you get sucked in.

4. Nope, I don't need it.

Giphy

*Continues to hold the plant and stare at it, trying to convince yourself you REALLY don't need it*

5. But I can't just leave him here! They probably don't even water him...

Josie Murray

You can and should leave him there because I guarantee he is being watered. Even if he isn't, someone else will come and rescue him soon.

6. I'm just going to take this ONE home with me.

Giphy

*Already has 57 other plants taking up the dining table back at the apartment*

7. Obviously I'm going to name him

Josie Murray

Because all of your other plants have unique names and you label their pots accordingly so you never forget a name.

care for them. I make it fun for myself by giving them a mix of old people's names and modern or trendy names. Either way, plants look pretty in your home and can always be replaced if need be, just don't go broke buying plants.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

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.

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.
