There are tons of things to do on a college campus and in college towns themselves. These are some of the "musts" that you need to do before the end of the semester at Lock Haven University.

1. Attend a sporting event.

There is nothing better than experiencing game day! No matter what the sport, go cheer on your fellow classmates.

2. Join a club.

There are over 100 clubs and organizations on campus. You should be able to find at least one club that has something to offer to you.

3. Go to local restaurants.

It is nice to have something other than Bentley every once in awhile. My advice is go out to eat. I am not going to put a specific restaurant because Lock Haven has so many to pick from! I just recommend that you support your locals.

4. Go to Avenue 209.

Coffee shops are my favorite and I don't even like coffee that much. That doesn't stop me from making frequent trips to Avenue 209. It is a great place to study, hang with friends, grab a drink and a snack and listen to live music!

5. Attend some programs in your residence hall.

Some of them are a lot more fun than you think they would be! I always love to take a quick break from my school work to go do some arts and crafts.

6. Play an intramural sport.

You don't have to be great at the sport to participate. Intramural sports are a great way to stay active and to take some stress away.

7. Go to a HAC sponsored event.

They put on great activities; it is a nice break away from school work.

8. Meet up with a professor/advisor for coffee/lunch.

I love doing this because you can learn a lot from individuals who have a lot of experience in their field. Making connections early is very important.

9. Go to the university commons.

This is really a great space to just get outside and relax. We all need fresh air and this is a wonderful place on campus. Take a frisbee or a ball and go play in the grass.

10. Stay on campus for a weekend.

You should really stay on campus every weekend because there is so much to do and you will meet a lot of awesome people. If you don't want to stay every weekend, at least make it your mission to stay at least one. You won't regret it.

11. Visit the bookstore.

Now that our bookstore actually looks like a bookstore, it is amazing. Go check it out and buy some LHU gear.

12. Cook a meal with some friends.

Every once in a while, choose a night out of the week and plan to make a meal with some friends. Cooking can be really fun, and food is great!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1839

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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

885

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.
