5 Thoughts You May Have During Your First Week Of Classes

It's finally over. Your first week of classes. This may have been your first, second, third, fourth or even fifth time beginning a new semester of classes. You choose your seat in the front, middle or back of the classroom. You made some friends that you believe will be the perfect study partners. On Friday, you finally get the hang of waking up a little earlier than normal, if you have 7:45 a.m. classes. As a freshman, you finally realize you have free time between classes and Netflix is your new best friend. College is your new home away from home. A place where there are people just like you. The first week may be scary for the Freshman but its still an interesting week for any college student. The following are five thoughts you may have during your first week of classes:

1. I can't handle reading one more syllabus.

Syllabus week is rough. Most professors take the whole hour or so to go over the class expectations, the grading scale, etc. The repetition isn't your favorite time of the school year.

2. How many projects do I have to complete?

Two, three, or maybe six projects. Groan.

3. I miss summer.

Where did the blue sky and arm weather go?

4. What shows on Netflix should I start?

I am sure each and every one of you are signing into your Netflix account at least twice or more a day.

5. Should I join a club or get a job?

Thinking you need more things to do in addition to homework?

We all know the first week of school is tough. But it's finally over.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

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.
