It's nearing the end of the semester when all the assignments, papers and group projects you procrastinated doing are now due. The time in the semester where you start prepping for the dreaded week of finals that leaves you drained mentally and emotionally. When the exhaustion really hits you and so does the flood of emotions that comes with exhaustion crying can become something that happens daily. These things are sure to make almost any exhausted and drained college student cry.

1. Seeing a dog on campus.

2. The reaction of a contestant's family on "The Voice."

3. Thinking about all the deadlines that are approaching quicker than you can say "Why me?"

4. When you find out the average on your last exam was much higher than you expected.

5. Finding out that you have to get 130 percent on the final to get an A in the class.

6. When you have no clue where to start when studying for your finals.

7. Seeing the friend that you haven't seen in weeks between classes, but you don't even have time to talk.

8. The fact that you've been living off of caffeine and energy bars for the past month, and all you really want in life is a nice homemade meal.

9. You haven't showered in...wait, when was the last time that you showered? It's been that long? Crap, I should probably do that.

At least the tears are masked by the water in this one!

10. Knowing that only four weeks separates you from eternal freedom...for a couple of months.

11. Looking at your bank account.

It's best to just avoid this one at all costs.

12. Cute videos of genuinely happy dogs.

I recommend this one!

13. Being able to go home and be with your beloved pet every day.

14. Registration time.

15. The exam that you spent weeks preparing for that you still bombed.

16. Even glimpsing at your planner that has too many marks on it to even be legible at this point.

17. The messy state that not only your life is in, but that your room is in, too.

I'll clean it up when I move out.

18. When caffeine doesn't even help anymore.

19. A good night's sleep becoming five hours.

20. Having your card decline when you're in line to get coffee.

Not only are you extremely embarrassed, but now you also don't get the coffee you were so needing.

21. When someone takes your unassigned, assigned seat.

22. That "Oh S***" moment when you are taking a test, and you haven't even heard of half the things on it.

23. When showers don't bring you solace anymore.

24. Let's be honest, what doesn't make a sleep-deprived and stressed out college student cry?? EVERYTHING can make a college student like this cry!!!

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

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.
