As August keeps rolling on, college kids have one thing on their minds: going back to school. While there is some sense of summer sadness, it won't last. Here are, in order, the feelings and thoughts every college student has towards the end of summer.


1. End of summer sadness

It sucks to have classes and all, but like, it's not a major priority. Summer was fun, and you're sad it's over, but it is COLLEGE after all!


2. Anxiety about packing

What will you actually wear this year, and how much will you use before you go home during the semester break?


3. Excitement about seeing friends

All your friends are down the hall now! No more "IMY" texts, you will bump into each other in the bathrooms!


4. Excitement for parties, football games, and living right next to your friends.

What's better than a tailgate? Or a football game in the early fall heat? NOTHING!


5. Depressed because classes mean work

You can't go out every night after syllabus week... Bummer man. But, work hard, play harder, right?


6. Excitement about leaving home

While you may love summer, being around your family and having to follow your parent's rules again can be a PITA (pain in the ass). You can only miss them if you go away! And vice versa.


7. Some sadness about missing your family and friends at home

Going means goodbyes which always suck. Some of your friends won't being back when you get to campus, and your family won't be either. Yeah, they can all be annoying at times, but they are your family and childhood friends.


8. The frustration of trying to get all your stuff to fit into a car

How can what seems to be only the essentials barely fit in your dad's SUV!? Ridiculous how size estimation NEVER works, UGH!


9. Exhaustion while unpacking and moving all your stuff into a room while everyone else is, too

How heavy could a MINI fridge be!? Okay, let's be real, my dad carries this for me, with my help sometimes. Even a box of clothes or shoes, jeez Louise they make you sweaty and tired.


10. The relief when you finish unpacking and can start your life again

Smiles and teary goodbyes to your family, before you wipe them and go hug your friends hi!


All in all, most of the summer flies by, but the end either goes by too slowly or too quickly... and there's no in between! The end of a season, especially the summer, comes with highs and lows and many in betweens. Emotions run as high as the heat and often times can run even higher. Cherish the time you have left with everyone at home, pack thoroughly, and get ready to start a brand new chapter!

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.

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.
