7 Feelings Non-Freshmen College Students Have
Holy Kaw

This past week, most people have moved back to school and started college classes. We all know freshmen and transfer students are universally excited and terrified. But how do the rest of college students feel about school? Well, I have found that everyone has very mixed reactions and emotions about returning to college. Here are some feels that many of us can feel:

“I can’t wait to be back with my friends!”

Most of us live spread out around the country, far away where we can freely bother each other. I mean, you still can through Facetime, group chats, Skype, etc. However, it’s still not the same. Now, since we’re back, all we have to do is take a stroll over to someone’s dorm to hang out.

“I don’t want to wooork!”


Or in other words, let’s just ditch responsibility and watch all the Shrek movies. While some classes are fun to attend, studying, group projects, and papers aren’t. All you want to do is hang out with people when you have shiploads of homework to do.

“Ugh, I have to get up early again for my 8 am class.”

Some people like getting up that early, but a lot of us don’t. As a result of early classes, it can literally be a struggle for night owls to get out of bed. Also, you just may love sleep and never get enough of it.

“I miss these people.”


If you knew any seniors from last year, you’ll notice almost all of them are gone. You find yourself discussing their achievements and etc. with freshmen who have no idea who these people are. And then, you feel empty inside because a void has opened up because the seniors are gone. This can also apply to people who have transferred, withdrawn, etc. It’s truly a sad time.


“Thank God those people are gone!”

WARNING: This next gif could cause seizures!



If there was a person you didn’t like that left school, you can be more than overjoyed that they are gone. Whether it be an ex-bestie, someone you used to date, or just some jerk in your hall, they’re gone. Keep your fingers crossed that you never have to deal with them again.

“Yay, its recruitment season!”


If you’re involved in Greek life in any shape or form, this time of year is for recruitment. Whether it be done formally or informally, it’s definitely happening. Everyone is hyped to gain new brothers and or sisters to add to their family.

“How has time flown by so quickly?”

Although applicable for anyone, this is the biggest source of feels for seniors. This is their last year of school, after this they have to take the next step into adulthood. Whether it be entering the workforce, attending grad school, joining the army, or anything at all, they have to have a plan. And to be frank, it’s incredibly scary. Yet, you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Have any other feels that weren’t included here? Please leave a comment below on this article! If you liked it, please share on Facebook! Thanks once again for reading!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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.

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.
