The first week of class is right around the corner, and humor is something that won’t cross your mind during this time of the school year. New classes, new buildings, and new people. Here’s 13 feelings you’ll have from a freshman’s POV:

1. Where am I?

There will be certain buildings that will be completely new to you, and you’ll end up in a part of campus that you have no idea where you are. Another fun thing is when you get out of an hour and a half class, and you’re completely disoriented. It gets easier, though. Trust me.

2. I have no idea who these people are.

Unlike high school, you probably won’t see familiar faces in all of your classes. Seeing a familiar face on campus is like a breath of fresh air, but making new friends is just as fun.

3. Aren’t you in like 3 of my classes?

You’ll probably end up seeing the same strange faces over and over, and that’s because you probably have similar majors, or it’s just a fluke and you need to buddy them up quickly for homework questions.

4. I am so hungry.

Sometimes your schedule just won’t work for you, and you’ll end up going 4 hours without eating. (Yes, 4 hours is a long time.)

5. I have eaten TOO much today.

That Chick-fil-a line will be short sometimes, and you’ll take advantage of it and eat your weight in chicken nuggets. Also, all that free food will also get to your gut.

6. I never knew sweat could form there.

Walking around campus all day at the beginning of the semester, in the heat, can definitely wear you down. And with your backpack on, sweat can form in the grossest places. You’ll find out.

7. Am I in the right class?

Even as a sophomore, I still have the fear that I’m going to walk into the wrong class. I got lucky last year and avoided it, but it will surely happen to some of you at least once. Or more than once.

8. Taking a nap sounds like a good idea, until you wake up 10 minutes late for class.

It’s the scariest thing waking up from a nap and not knowing what time or day it is, but checking the time and realizing class has already started isn’t a good impression for your first week.

9. You took for granted sleeping in your own bed.

At home, your bed is just a bed until you’re trying to sleep at college. Loud noises above you, loud noises outside your window… what happened to those quiet nights all comfy in your bed?

10. Can I eat my textbooks?

After all the money you’ll spend on your textbooks, money for food is a joke. So, you get a little crazy.

11. How have I survived without a planner in the past?

My whole life revolves around my planner. I can’t remember plans to save my life, and so I don’t end up failing my classes or agreeing to plans I can’t make, I have a planner. Or, as I call it, a life saver.

12. How gosh dang pretty your campus is.

You’ll be walking around campus a lot this year, and the sight of your library will never not astonish you. Enjoy the university you’re paying a lot of money for.

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.

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.

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.
