20 Things All Southern Connecticut State University Students Can Relate To

Southern Connecticut State University is a small school with a big heart located in New Haven, CT just down the street from Yale. SCSU provides amazing opportunities such as student involvement in over 100 clubs and organizations and stellar professors and academics. But, you can't appreciate going to Southern without accepting the quirks that come along with being a student here. Abby and Ilana are going to help illustrate the feelings, thoughts, and emotions that all Southern students have gone through or will inevitably go through during their time being an SCSU owl.

1. When someone in your dorm building sets off the fire alarm in the middle of the night

2. When your financial aid refund gets deposited into your bank account

3. When you get the email from Patrick Dilger saying the University is closed due to inclement weather

Patty D always coming in clutch

4. When it's Thursday night and you managed to make a schedule with no Friday classes

5. When someone tries to talk to you in your 8:10 a.m. class

Why are these even a thing?

6. When you realize you're wearing the same outfit to your MW class that you wore to your TR class so you attempt to alter it slightly

7. When it's your junior year and you're already having a quarter life crisis

8. When you just can't keep up with your inbox

And they're all from SCSU Announcements

9. When you've been in Buley library for so long that you don't even know what day it is

Because cramming and procrastinating is a SCSU's students' speciality

10. When you're excited that your favorite artist is performing at Toad's

11. When you miraculously find parking in the Wintergreen or Davis parking garage

A true blessing

12. When walking from the dorms to the academic side in the winter feels like a journey

Especially when you have a class in Davis

13. When you have to wake up at 6 a.m. to register for classes and the one you desperately need is already full

14. When Banner crashes as you're trying to register for classes

Why do bad things always seem to happen to good people?

15. What you say to someone when they decide to sit in the seat you've been sitting in all semester

It's just an unwritten rule that everyone should abide by

16. When it's been a week since the semester ended and final grades still haven't been posted to Banner

17. Eavesdropping on other people's conversations/gossip while waiting in the ridiculously long Dunkin line

Because how else would you pass the time?

18. How you feel about people who forget to take their laundry out of the dryer

19. That feeling you get when you order delivery from Pizza Heaven or get take-out from Pepe's

Thank God for New Haven's wide selection of amazing pizza places to choose from

20. Walking out of your advising appointment after they tell you that you're on track to graduate on 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.

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

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.
