10 Embarrassing Opinions About My College

If you have ever attended a small Liberal Arts school located in a rural area, you will understand the satire of this article. A lot of times, the biggest separation from bigger local schools and a small, private school is the religious aspect. Going to a small school is definitely a unique experience, but usually, the school's strong academics and loving environment are a great support system for success in each student. Overall, every small, close-knit community can have its quirks. If you attend a school like this, here are some things that you might be able to relate to.

1. Walking to class with someone of the opposite sex will result in widespread dating rumors. Lasting Years.

2. Having Ibu-Profen classifies you as "bad-ass"

3. Students say the town's local restaurants are famous for being delicious but really they’re mediocre at best.

4.The majority of relationships are a direct result of boredom.


5. A "7" in the real world is a "10" on campus. Shallow but accurate.

6. Everybody self-identifies as an outsider. Every person.


7. There is no football team but if you’re a fan of men in short shorts, you’re in luck!

8. The population can sometimes start to slowly decline, as if it was possible for the school to be any smaller.

9. Only decaf beverages are served on campus (although there is talk of an underground coffee cartel). "Ya want coffee? I know a guy."

10. You might end up dating someone in your immediate friend group. It's a common practice on campus.

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

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.
