15 Signs You're Such A Freshman

You feel super cool and grown up when you pass a campus tour.

Freshman year is almost as awkward as seventh grade with the added pressure that you're supposed to be an adult and know what you're doing with your life. I'm pretty sure we're all failing at that. The first step to succeeding at freshman year is accepting your status; we're at the bottom of the totem pole now. If you're a freshman, these are 15 things that just really define you. It's okay, everyone's been there...right??

1. You feel like you know your way around, but you still use maps just in case


2. You're super eager about everything and you know it (and you're embarrassed about it)

3. You're uncomfortable around upperclassmen because no matter who they are, they're so much cooler than you

4. You know that you know nothing

5. You look forward to not being a freshman anymore

6. And not living in a dorm

7. You're following a ton of people on Instagram that are supposedly in your class but you have no idea who they are

8. So, you never know where you know people from


9. ...And you celebrate when you remember someone's name

10. Eating in the dining hall takes more mental and physical energy than it's worth

11. You're really savoring the moment because you know your grades will never be this good again

12. You feel super cool and grown up when you pass a campus tour

13. You still haven't found your study spot so you can't focus and it stresses you out

14. You still have the unmotivated aspect of senioritis without the cool-factor, and you can't figure out how to resolve it

15. You get FOMO seeing your high school friends that go to college together hanging out

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. 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.

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.
