It's that time of year again! We have (finally) returned from winter break, being reunited with our friends and unfortunately, a new class schedule. But it's okay because although we are back at school filled with assignments and tests, we are also back with our friends who are filled with good times and bad decisions. Syllabus week is the kick start of the semester, classes are short and at times meaningless; however, the nights are long and the happiest time of the semester. So soak up these next couple of days and enjoy your one and only completely stress-free week by indulging these 10 things that are only acceptable during syllabus week.

1. Going out on the Sunday before classes start, even if the bars close before midnight.

2. Bringing nothing but coffee and a hangover to class on Monday.


3. Walking into the wrong classroom even though you are a junior.

4. Changing seats after the first class.

5. Openly talk about yourself to your class when your professor makes an effort to get to know you.

6. Going out six nights in a row because why not? You know you will never get the chance to again.

7. Eat out at all of your favorite places because you still have some leftover Christmas money.

8. Nap as much as possible so you can stay out all night.

9. Bring your dog to class and see if you can get away with it.

10. Skip the class you know you won't be able to for the rest of the semester.

Remember to enjoy these ten things this week as you know they won’t be around long before you are drowning in responsibilities and school work.

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.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

1. You're tired of school food and have resorted to surviving off junk food and cereal.

2. Your financial aid/money is running out...and chances are it all went to textbooks and takeout.
