College Kickstart

For most college students, classes have either already started or are getting ready to start within the next week or two. With that in mind, everyone is now going to be scrambling to study for their next exam, to finish that four to five-page paper, or hanging out with friends on a Friday night-this means that the fact that you have an article due during the week stray to the back of your mind, where it stays until you release that it's the due date and you have nothing out there yet.

Never fear! It happens to everyone! But what happens when you cannot even think of an article idea when you actually remember? You look at another odyssey article that has a list of different topics for something that strikes your interest. So, I'll cut this introduction off so you can get to what you came here to read. :)

1. How your first week of college went

2. Why the first week is the best time, yet it's also one of the most stressful time

3. Ways to reach out on campus (clubs, service learning, volunteering)

4. Shortcuts on your campus

5. Are the ratings on Rate My Professor actually reliable?

6. Why does every major have that one class that everyone dreads?

7. Things to do during your first week

8. How to make friends when you're new to campus

9. Reasons why you want to study abroad

10. Pros and cons to studying abroad

11. The best places to eat on campus

12. The best places to eat off of campus

13. Ways to stay on top of assignments

4. Differences between your previous year of school (ex: senior in high school to college freshman or sophomore in college to junior in college)

15. Why you choose to live on campus

16. Why you choose to commute

17. Letter to your university on the lack of outlets in some dorms (yes, I am salty)

18. Why you shouldn't drop that class

19. Why you love/hate morning classes

20. Why you love/hate afternoon classes

21. Why you love/hate online classes

22. A letter to the professors that make you buy expensive books, yet they never have anything relevant in them

23. What's the best places to get your books from?

24. Reasons why you should call home

25. Why naps are incredibly important for survival

26. eBooks vs physical books (which is better? which is worse?)

27. Unique spots on your campus

28. Things to do on your campus on the weekends

29. The pros and cons to having a roommate

30. Why it's best to go talk to your adviser early

Go forth my fellow procrastinators! Also, if you're having trouble with coming up with article ideas you can always talk to your editors and even your friends, to come up with new articles. Happy writing!

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.
