3 Tips for A Successful Finals Week

Finals week is upon us. And through the chaos of the overcrowded library and the halls full of procrastinating students, here's a few tips for a successful finals week.

1. Study, Don't Procrastinate.

A lot of people just have the mindset that they don't have to study, that they usually get decent grades without spending any time reviewing. But a lot of times a final can either make or break your grade for a class, so why not put in a little extra time studying for a class you're a little iffy in. Don't have too much fun with all the free time you'll have with no classes, use the time wisely and don't procrastinate and just study an hour before an exam. You'll feel a lot more confident and ready for your final exams if you study for them.

2. Take a Stress Relieving Break.

Although it is important to really buckle down and study for your finals, it's also very important to give your mind a rest every now and then. You can't spend 10 hours straight cramming a ton of information into your head, your brain needs a break every few hours. I like to reward myself with a break every few hours by grabbing a snack with my friends, watching a movie,or going to the gym for a while just to get your head clear. It's important to relieve some stress, especially during finals week.

3. Don't Forget to Eat.

A lot of times people lose track of time when they lock themselves in a library study room all day. It's important to not forget to eat because your body also needs energy to keep you on top of your game. A healthy mind and a healthy body are a key to success during finals week.

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.
