6 Finals Week Tips From A Double Major

I'll be honest, this semester has included a lot of me questioning myself as to why in the heck I decided to double major. It will only get worse around finals time. For those of you procrastinating on the interwebs, here is some advice to kicking butt and taking names during this finals week.


1. Sleep

I can not stress this enough, especially as an insomniac who likes to nap when I shouldn't. Make sure you get at least 6 hours a night. If you don't sleep enough, you can start hallucinating. You also want to make sure to sleep so that you do not have to be so hyped up on caffeine that you start hallucinating.

2. Nap appropriately

I am the first to admit that I love long naps. However, that isn't good. If you nap for too long, it can mess with your circadian rhythm, which will mess with your sleep patterns, which will mess with your mind more. During finals week, you're already stressed to the max, no need to mess with your head anymore.

3. Eat

Try your best to stay on a regular meal schedule, so you don't mess with your body any more than stress already does.

4. Take the time to shower

I know it's stressful, but for the love of whatever deity you believe in, please shower. You don't want to be the stinky kid. Also, it helps to give your brain a break.

5. Set a time to STOP studying

I try to force myself to stop doing work at around midnight. When I succeed, I find that I am less stressed, and more refreshed in the morning.

6. Try your best to not procrastinate

I know how hard this is, but please, try. No one wants to write a ten page paper in one night, and your professor probably doesn't want to read it.


That's all I have! Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

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.

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.
