Hi, my name is Ilyssa and I think I'm really funny ("Hi, Ilyssa!"). Isn't the first step admitting you have a problem? Well, I'll admit it, I think I am really funny (feedback on these articles has been contributing to my ego). This article goes out to my fellow jokesters: 5 things you know to be true if you think you're really funny.

1. You laugh at your own jokes.

I think I laugh at 99% of the jokes I make, and if I don't laugh I probably am dying inside.

2. You stare and smile at your phone as you wait for someone to reply to the funny comment you just made.

I do this ALL the time. Truth is, I am currently giggling to myself while I write this article.

3. You're secretly jealous when one of your friends says something funny.

Because you can't believe someone else came up with the joke before you.

4. If someone doesn't laugh at your joke, you assume they don't have a sense of humor.

You also probably get slightly offended that they don't think you are funny.

5. You have at least one friend you always tell your jokes to because they laugh at everything you say.

Eden, if you are reading this, this one is for you. Thanks for always laughing at my jokes even when they aren't that funny.

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.
