It's almost New Year's Day and you know what that means. It's time for us to make our resolutions, keep them for a month then give up and wait until next year. Here are seven New Year's resolutions people don't follow through with.

1. I will start going to the gym

A week before New Year's this idea sounds good, but then a week or two after New Years, running on the treadmill and doing spin class doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore.


2. I will stop spending money

You can do this! It shouldn't be so hard to stop spending so much money... until you see those cute new shoes you wanted!


3. I will start eating healthier

It shouldn't be that difficult to cut back on all our unhealthy eating and snacking, but that hamburger does look good one bite won't hurt!


4. I will start drinking/ smoking less

Sadly this is a resolution I wish more people would stick with, but not many do.


5. I will spend less time on social media

This resolution is definitely one that I say I will keep but ultimately never do. So many people, including myself, are addicted to social media and no matter what.. we won't give it up.


6. I will be more social

Yes, I much rather be in bed on Pinterest then interacting with a bunch of people I do not like, and I am not sorry about it.


7. I will stop going on Netflix so much

Most people can actually do this resolution for a while until the newest season of Orange is the New Black or Stranger Things comes out.

I am sure most of the world will not keep their resolutions past March, but the ones that do, we applaud you!!!

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

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.
