5 Thoughts College Students Have On A Snow Day
Jonathan Petersson

We all know waking up to the “class is canceled” e-mail is a similar feeling to Christmas morning. The unexpectedness of a snow day, especially in college, comes with the freedom of an empty day. Most stores are closed, activities are canceled, and campus is quiet.

Days like these are rare but make for a nice break in the rigor of a college student’s life. After 3 nor’easters this winter, here are a few thoughts students have on a snow day.

1. Should I sleep all day?

I definitely could make this choice, even though I probably shouldn’t, but I definitely will.

2. Do I get ahead on my work or order food and go back to bed?

My desk is piled up with assignments, but my bed is too comfortable to leave.

3. Am I hungry enough to trek out to the dining hall?

The dining hall is 500 feet from my dorm, but I have to bundle up to go outside and risk the frigid temperatures.

4. Do you think Insomnia delivers in this weather?

They are probably closed, but I’ll definitely call anyways.

5. Will classes be canceled again tomorrow?

*Says my prayers*

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.

April Ludgate

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.
