College will introduce you to some of the best and worst people. For better or worse, these are the people you’ll be seeing for the next four years, so buckle up, collegiate.

1) The Slacker with a Crazy IQ

This guy is either constantly playing video games, or always looking to party. Either way, you haven’t seen him in class since syllabus week, but somehow he always ends up with a crazy GPA.

2) The Girl Who Studies 24/7

You’ll see this girl in class and at the final exam, but that’s about it. Other than that, she’s locked up in the library or study room and working her butt off to earn that degree. You go, girl.

3) The Overachiever

This girl is similar to the one who studies all the time, however, she also has two jobs, 20 units, a boyfriend, is in a sorority, and also made the Dean’s List. Oh and she’s also super nice. You’ll hate not being able to hate this girl.

4) The Girl Who Can’t Handle Her Alcohol.

This girl is always overly excited about the weekend. She tends to get carried away, and is usually blacked out a few hours into the night. Giving her a re-cap the next day may embarrass her, but it most likely won’t change her ways.

5) The One in All of Your Classes

This person is a recurring figure in your life. You’ve basically guaranteed to have a class with them during any given term. You might not know each other’s names, but you’ll definitely acknowledge each other on campus.

6) The One That's ALWAYS on Their Phone

Whether they’re Snapchatting or texting their moms, these guys seem to get major anxiety being apart from their cell phone.

7) Awkward Hook-up Run-ins

You see each other around campus occasionally, and every time you do, it’s the weirdest thing ever. You’re guaranteed awkward eye contact if you ever happen to run into each other.

8) The People With Enough Energy to Act as a Wi-Fi Server for the Entire Continent of Africa.

You have to be wary of these guys. Sure, being around someone who's a ball of energy can be fun, but sometimes it can be a bit much.

9) The Obnoxious Couple

These guys probably met during the first few weeks of school, and they’re still going through their honeymoon phase a year later. Whether they’re posting cute Snap stories or making out on a park bench, these two are always together. If you’re friends with one of them, chances are you’ll have to get along with their significant other as well.

10) The Know-it-All

A lot of times these guys are actually really smart; but for the most part, they’re just convinced they know more than anyone else. No matter the topic, they always have some piece of information to add to the conversation.

11) The Lost Ones

These are the people you were convinced you’d be BFFLs with, but for some reason or another it didn’t work out. Now you aren’t totally sure whether to say hi to each other or not on campus.

12) Your Homies

These are your people. They’ll listen to your whining, and call you out on your mistakes. These guys won’t judge you for binge-watching "High School Musical," make 3 A.M. runs to find donuts, and will talk to you about anything and everything. You probably have a plethora of inside jokes, but can also communicate with just a look.

The college experience is different for everyone, but there are some people who you’ll find on every campus. You’ve got at least four years to find your people, and chances are, some of them are on this list.

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.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.

April Ludgate

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.
