It's October! Which means it's that time of year that everything gets weird! I know you're probably thinking, "But Laura, things are always weird on your blog, does that mean it's always October?" Well....you're not wrong! However, this October in particular is full of weird things. What are they? I'm glad you asked!

1. Clown Sightings

Someone please tell me what is going on? I don't play clown games. Why is Stephen King's book happening in real life? I'm uncomfortable. You're uncomfortable. Let's move on.

2. Midterms

Honestly, I'm blessed that I don't have any midterms this semester, but RIP to the brains of my friends.

3. The Presidential Debates

What more of a joke can you ask for on a Sunday night?

Picture this: It's middle school. Lunch time. Two kids start trying to roast each other. Plot twist...this is our political situation in 2016.

4. Halloween

Why didn't I mention this one first? Think about it...you're dressing up your kids in weird costumes and bringing them to the doors of people you've most likely never met before to take their candy. Either that, or you yourself are dressing up and getting intoxicated. Tell me why we celebrate this as Americans?

5. Pumpkin Spice Season

I'm almost positive that I mentioned this in my last blog post. 'Tis the season for pumpkin spice, and that includes coffee, cookies, AND EVEN GREEK YOGURT! (Don't believe me? Look it up.) If you're not horrified yet, you should be.

6. Allergy Season

Literally, sick.

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.

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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
