'American Horror Story' Has Got Nothing On My Life

Because life is a horror story.

'American Horror Story' Has Got Nothing On My Life
Bloody Disgusting

OK, so we all know "American Horror Story" ended a couple of weeks ago (fortunately because this season sucked), but does it truly ever end? You turn the television off after watching the preview for next weeks episode and sit on the couch and stare at the wall. You realize your life in general is an American horror story.

You wake up at 8 a.m the next day, roll off the bed, fall down the stairs and trip on ice on the way to your class. The wind is going five hundred miles an hour, the snow is smacking you across the face, and you realize you forgot to put shoes on so your toes fall off. Mondays are the best aren't they?

So your Monday comes to an end. You failed two pop quizzes and have to go home to study for tomorrow's organic chemistry test. But you have to make time to go to the gym, right? You take the half-hour bus ride back to your apartment and run inside to change. Today is cardio, but you can't run on an empty stomach. You turn the stove on and make some chicken. You don't have chicken (or any kind of food) so you get ready to cook ramen.

The gym is packed but there's one treadmill left so you rush over and claim it for yourself. The speed goes from 0.5 to 5.0 and your day suddenly isn't so bad after releasing some endorphins. You're running and watching the television in front of you when all of sudden you go headfirst into the floor. Next time, dry your shoes before you start running on a treadmill! Today just isn't your day. You wipe off the sweat on your brow with your red shirt and start walking to your car. Wait. You weren't wearing a red shirt. Oh! You just broke your nose!

After jump-starting your car and re-wrapping your broken nose and toes, you use your hands to pump the gas and make your way to the apartment. Actually, you need some food so you go to the store. So there you are, in aisle five, getting reduced fat milk, when all of a sudden you have the runs and have to go to the bathroom. You do your thing and flush the toilet, only to realize you flushed your credit card down the toilet. Thank goodness you brought chuckle cheese tokens. Hopefully, they accept them here.

"At the end of the day, you know you're just going to have another day tomorrow, so it's important to be as optimistic as possible. Just because something is the end of the world today, doesn't mean it'll be the end of the world tomorrow. And even if it is, it won't matter a couple of years from now." -- A quote by me.

You step out of your car and carry your milk to the apartment and smell a campfire. Your neighbors didn't invite you to their camp-out mid-February? No fair! You march right up to your door to put your milk in the fridge so you can give your neighbors a piece of your mind. You adjust yourself to get the keys out of your pocket, and reach for the doorknob. Except there is no doorknob. That wasn't a campfire. Your house burned down.

You forgot the damn ramen.

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.

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.
