12 Desk Toys You Shouldn't Live 2017 Without

Honestly can't remember my desk without them...

12 Desk Toys You Shouldn't Live 2017 Without

We sit all day at these boring corporate desks or school desks with just a laptop and some pens, and we're expected not to fall asleep. Yeah right, OK. Well, I'm going to teach you how to freshen it up with some toys to make it a less dreadful place to sit.

1. DIY Labbit

Personally, I don't think your boss would allow you to have a plush toy at your desk, so here's a vinyl option that you can color in yourself whenever your still "coming up with ideas" for the next big meeting.

2. Peanut Eraser


Because personally, regular erasers are just too boring and wrong.

3. This is a F*cking Quote Book

Sometimes we just need some casual books on our desk to make us seem a bit more scholarly when the boss or professor walks by. I bet they would be impressed to know that you know so many eloquent quotes and your use of them in daily life.

4. Soup Can Crayon Set

Be honest, how much more likely is it for you to take important notes if your crayons came from a soup can? (A LOT)

5. Universal Phone Mount

This thing is just the best! Helps you hold up your phone and lend you an extra hand while you're busy multitasking, whether you're reading or want to catch up on some Netflix.

6. Mini Geometric Planter

Sometimes we just need a sense of the outdoors while sitting at our gloomy small desks. This low-maintenance cactus is an easy way of adding some freshness to your old desk.

7. Made Lateral Career Moves

Sometimes, we get a little down and need some self confidence or a reminder that we are making power moves in our lives, even if they seem tiny in the grand scheme. This little ribbon will always remind you of how even the worst days are a step closer to our goal.

8. Dog Butt Magnets

How nice would it be to put up the long laundry list of chores, responsibilities, or duties you've been given by your boss, with a dog's butt? That'll really show 'em.

9. Hoptimist Bumble

This little buddy will keep you company for those late nights in the office or while you're cramming for those exams. How could you not smile a bit at this little bouncy toy sitting on your desk?

10. Toysmith Desktop Catapult Toy

Ever feel the need to fling one of those to-do lists across your desk because you finally completed it after dreading it for weeks? Yeah, me too. This lets you even pass notes in the office and I'm sure your boss would appreciate it more than texts.

11. The Daily Mood Desk Flipchart

This is a personal favorite because of how useful it is for communicating with those you don't want to. Maybe you're feeling a little lazy? Put down "Apathetic" and your coworkers wont bother you the entire day!

12. Fidget Cube

Last but certainly not least, my brother's new favorite as of Christmas, the Fidget Cube. Eventually we all get ants in our pants for sitting still from 9 to 5 so this groundbreaking idea allows people to play around with six different little toys in one small cube.

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.

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.
