Now that we're out of midterms and into finals, studying has become as much a part of our routine as going to the dining hall because we don't have the energy to cook. To make things a little easier, here are the different faces of studying if they were pandas.

1. Getting started.

The hardest part is actually getting started. After procrastinating for as long as possible, the panic sets in and we realize we have to start before it's too late.

2. Waking up an hour early to study.

The first lie we tell ourselves. We don't have class until 11 - we can wake up at 9. No, you can't.

3. Having a mental breakdown.

You have to have at least three before midterms are over. If you don't, I admire you.

4. Snack time


When you're all broke and there's only four Taquito's left, it's every man for himself.

5. Do anything and everything except studying.

You don't really party, but your friends are going. And you should be doing your paper, but why don't you ever take time to relax? You can do the paper later.

6. Realize all of your deadlines are piling up and 'later this week' is now 'tomorrow'.

You waited too long and wonder why you're so bad at time management.

7. Study groups.

Does anything ever get done?

8. Try to roll away from our problems.

Trying to roll away from your problems is unavoidable. Sometimes it's the only thing you can do.

9. Leaving your class after the exam.


It was a struggle, but you survived.

10. Getting your grades back.

Getting your grades back can sometimes be as stressful as studying for the exams. Whatever your grades, know that you don't have to be great at everything, and that it's okay to struggle.

Everyone does.

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.

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.
