11 Things College Students Don't Want To Be Asked Over These Holiday Breaks

Friends

All college students know the pain of the 100 question game when they go back home for Thanksgiving or Christmas break. It's not normal questions it's those people that try to be undercover detectives that ask the questions we don't want to answer. So to everyone out there, here are the 10 questions that college students do not want to be asked 1,000 times when they're on their Holiday breaks.

1. How's school going?

I'm a broke college student taking 18 credit hours and working two jobs, I'm drowning in papers and exams, it's not fun. But to make it seem like I'm not crazy I'll tell you that I love it and everything is great!

2. What is your major?

You smile and tell them with excitement but then they just keep asking... So you give up!

3. Oh, really? What do you plan on doing with that?

Whatever will get me a ton of money!

4. Are you making A's this semester?

This is where you start laughing so you don't cry. Because who really knows how that exam before break really went...

5. Are you set to graduate on time?

I hope so. But in, all honesty, I'll take all the prayers you can give me.

6. Do you have any internships set up for this summer?

I honestly don't know what I'm doing tomorrow morning and I need a job that pays, so no. But for the sake of our conversation, I'll say I'm still trying to find the best one for me!

7. Are you and insert ex's name here still together?

This is a question you don't ask, because honestly if they still care about them it's like pouring alcohol on a cut. PAINFUL!

8. Well, have you met anyone new?

No, this person sitting beside me is just a random stranger I picked up on the way here!

9. What happened to insert ex-friend's name here?

You really don't want to ask this question because trust me a fire will light inside of them and they will be ranting for hours. But we'll leave it short and sweet.

10. Are you keeping track of your spending?

I'm glad you ask. The school is keeping a close look on my money!

11. What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you post many pictures on Facebook!

School, sleep, work, eat, sleep, eat, sleep, sleep, school, work, sleep, sleep, etc. You know just the normal college stuff.

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.
