I was blessed to have a bomb ass roommate, but others aren't as lucky. As I walk around campus, I am always hearing the many horror stories about people's roommates. So, I thought I would give all incoming Freshman or those who have never had a roommate a little heads up on the roommates to watch out for.

1. The one who is NEVER there.

Ok, this may seem great at first, but after a while, you will get annoyed with the fact that you basically have a single room with some random person's things. Plus, it gets lonely.

2. The insanely messy roommate.

This one just sucks if you want to have people over... or want to walk to your bed without stepping on a wrapper.

3. The clinger.

So, as I typed this my roommate and I just realized that this is us, but it's ok because we like each other. But if you don't like each other this one can be a killer, especially if you want some alone time.

4. The attention seeker.

So annoying.

5. The one who never leaves.

Is it too much to ask to get the room to yourself for JUST five minutes?! Apparently.

6. The drug dealer.

No, just no.

7. The one who ALWAYS has their significant other with them.

You were given not just one roommate, but two. This one really sucks if you are single and lonely.

8. The night owl.

The one who doesn't just come home late but also drunk on a Tuesday, but also eats ramen and watches Netflix all at 3:00 am just a few hours before your 8:00 am class.

9. The passive aggressive roommate.

This one will drive you up the wall.

10. The neat freak.

Might be cool at first because you don't have to clean, but trust me it will end up being insanely annoying.

Now, not all roommates suck. I have heard plenty of stories of how much people love their roommates! If you are looking for a great one, search for one of these! You won't be disappointed.

1. The best friend.

You realize that you are practically the same person after talking for the first time. It's kind of weird and creepy how many things there are in common between you two, from your music preferences to your favorite foods.

2. The clown.

Always cracking the funniest jokes.

3. The fun roommate!

The one that will drag you out of the room on a Saturday night, but also take care of you when you get back home.

4. The note-taker.

Not to be confused with the passive aggressive roommate. This is the one who leaves you cute little notes on a big exam day, or just randomly. Always a day maker.

5. The explorer.

The one who is always up for an adventure. Nothing is worse than having spare time and being stuck in the dorm room. It's so much fun to get out and take a random road trip or finding places around town that most people don’t know about.

6. The chef.

Nothing is better than not having to make your own food.

7. The roommate who puts up with your crap.

C'mon, even you know that you are annoying.

8. The non-judgemental roommate.

The one who doesn't judge you for going out or skipping your 8 am class every once in awhile.

9. The social butterfly.

This one is so great because it gets you out of the room and out into the world to make some cool friends!

10. The one you find yourself missing.

You definitely want a roommate that you find yourself missing when they go away for the weekend or when you return home from winter break.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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.

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.
