Graduation. A word that is both equally exciting and frightening, but every school has college students who experience it every year at some point. And with every graduate, worries rise and thoughts rise about life. Here's a list of thoughts that everyone has after graduating from college.

1. What am I gonna do now?

I don't know? Get a job? Move in with my parents? Become a beach bum? The world may never know.

2. Are there any jobs in my major?

B***h, where? Where they at?! I should have just become a doctor, everyone needs a doctor.

3. So...I have to start eating healthy?

When you graduate you realize your metabolism is probably slowing down and you probably need to get off of the college diet...but do I HAVE to? Nah, I have at least two more years. Maybe.

4. Why does my family keep telling me to have children?

Look, I just got out of school. I'm still not even responsible enough to make a proper breakfast for myself, or feed myself in general. How would I take care of another human being? And why would I want to stop drinking for 9 months?

5. WHEN CAN I GO BACK TO SCHOOL?!

The grown-up life is not what it is all cracked up to be. School was a beautiful lie, a beautiful, short, lie that ended way too early.

Enjoy college, enjoy your friends, and ENJOY your freedom.

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.
