21 Signs You're So Over This Semester

It's the time of the year when the countdown to final exams is actually acceptable. After final exams? Summer break. We're all completely over this semester and ready for summer. Here are 20 signs you're so over this semester — 99 percent of students experience these symptoms, but no, the student health center does not offer help for these. Even if they did, it's not like it would be covered in your tuition.

1. You spend more time calculating your grades than actually studying for your classes.

You have it calculated down to the exact points you need to still pass the class, even if you bomb the final.

2. You have so much to do and so little time

So what do you do? Nap.

3. You've made new friends in your classes solely so they can send you the notes.

Thank God for syllabus week, at least you know when the exams are.

4. You would rather gain weight than go to the gym.

The freshman 15 didn't hit you until the last eight weeks. Maybe freshman 30... or 45, I don't know, it's fine.

5. You would rather starve than go grocery shopping.

It's one extreme or the other.

6. You're running out of dry shampoo/ baby powder.

"When was the last time I showered?"

7. Margarita Monday

8. Tequila Tuesday

9. Wine Wednesday

10. Thirsty Thursday

11. Not even coffee does the trick anymore.

It takes about four coffees to act as one by this time of the semester.

12. You've really let your room go.

You probably need to hire a professional maid at this point if you ever want to see your floor again.

13. Your social media stalking skills have reached a new level.

You have to have a variety of ways to waste your time instead of doing homework. By the way, the kid who sits in front of you in Econ has a twin brother (three minutes older) who studies business at Harvard. He also has a girlfriend.

14. Your Google search history is a new kind of pathetic.

"Top 10 best paying jobs without a college degree."

"Do I have to go to college to be successful?"

"Annual salary of a stripper."

15. You ask yourself about 20 times a day if you can drop out.

You also ask your roommate another 50 times, they're getting pretty tired of it.

16. "'C's get degrees"

Just keep telling yourself this as you get your exam grades back.

17. Those 8 a.m. classes though...

If you do happen to make it, props to you, but you're just getting out of bed at 8 a.m.

18. You have a countdown until break.

It might even be your phone lock screen.

19. "When was the last time I did laundry?"

You're fine until your roommate says something.

20. You've started a new Netflix series.

And finished it.

21. 500 word minimum, only had 498 words.

THE END.

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.

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.

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.
