8 Things Were All Going Through A Month Into School

You don't know if you should just sit and cry, actually do some work, or go take a long nap and avoid responsibility.

8 Things Were All Going Through A Month Into School

Its that time in the semester when everything starts getting all too real. Everything is happening at once and you don't know if you should just sit and cry, actually do some work, or go take a long nap and avoid responsibility. We are all experiencing way too much at the moment.

1.) All the tests

Every professor knows that every other one is having a test the same week and probably the same day but its college so they do not care. One time in high school my teacher found out another teacher was having a test the same day and switched our test to another day; don't ever expect that to happen again. So when you along with half of the student body are living in the study room, just know everyone understands.

2.) Running out of money

Yup. It's that point in the semester where all the money you saved all summer is gone, and you have no idea what you've spent it on. Getting a job is a terrible idea since it'll take up the extra time you have to go out, so it looks like you'll be begging mom and dad for some help.

3.) All your homework is due

For those teachers that give homework in bulk, they also all have it due at the same time. Did you use time management and do it piece by piece? Of course not. Now here you are on a Sunday trying to do it all before the next morning when it's due. Just remember this for the next homework assignment.

4.) Your liver hates you

You haven't had anything major due yet therefore your weekends, and some week nights, have been spent out with your friends with not a care in the world. But now you feel like a grandma/grandpa when thinking of going out, and you know that you will probably pass out if you try to go out and drink like you have been.

5.) Your sleep schedule is off

Spending the last few weeks doing as you please has not helped your sleep schedule. You're going to bed at 2 on a good night and not waking up 'til 12, even though you have those 8 and 10 ams. Let's get it together. New bed time is 11 pm and we're getting up at 8 am. We're all in this together.

6.) Gaining everything back

We all know how hard we've worked out this summer to get ourselves back together. That's all gone now that we have the munchies at 1 am every night, and we consider ice cream an acceptable meal.

7.) The plague

Somehow we have all managed to get sick at the same time. To the kid that sat behind me the other day and coughed all on my freshly washed hair, I'll let it slide this one time since I know we all have the same illness right now.

8.) All the stress

Yes, were all having a mental breakdown this week, but we'll all get through this together. Studying, sleeping, and eating habits are going back to normal now.

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.

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.
