7 Ways To Make It Through The Semester Alive

April is the Sunday of spring semester. You try and try to squeeze in the last bits of fun before summer break, but while the weather is getting warmer, the work is getting harder, and it's far too easy to get completely overwhelmed. Starting final projects, meeting with group members, writing papers, and spending any free hours in the library is hard enough, but trying to squeeze it all in on top of parties, day drinks, and nights out is the ultimate balancing act. Personally, when I start feeling the stress-induced April blues, I like to turn to others for inspiration. And no one screams, "My life is 100 percent together," like the cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore," right?

1. Take a deep breath and try to relax.

2. Try to make time to hang out with your friends and make the most of your last few weeks together.


3. Give yourself a little pep talk.

4. Take a break and get off campus for a little while.

5. Vent to your roommates.


6. Call home and let your parents remind you everything will be alright.


7. Smile! Remind yourself you can make it through these next weeks.

You got this! Get your GTL on, keep looking FTD, and remember: If Sam and Ron's relationship was able to last this long, you can do anything, especially make it through this semester.

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.
