Being Reunited With Your College Best Friends After The Holidays
The Odyssey

Winter break is over? Weren't we just crying and stressing over finals last week? The thought of going through all the tears and stress again makes me want to sleep even more. On the bright side, the week we've all been waiting for is finally here: being reunited with our college best friends. The annoying, clingy text messages can now stop because you'll be able to annoy each other in person. The spring semester is the season for pool parties, formals, fraternity weekenders, and music festivals-- all which you can do with your best friends. No more sitting in bed watching Snapchat stories of people doing crazy shenanigans. No more binge watching Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls by yourself because now you'll be able to do those things with your friends. I think we're all ready for a fun and memorable semester with our girls.

The reunion: excitedly yelling when you see each other

If we thought being separated a week during Thanksgiving was a long time, well, Winter break was even longer. The feeling of being reunited is the most exciting and anticipating moment.

Catching up and not leaving a single detail out

All conversations start with, "How was your break? Tell me everything!" I think we all like to fast-forward through the talk about family vacations and get to the good stuff. Though your college best friends might not have grown up with you in the same hometown, they like to keep updated about the drama that happens there.

Wine nights

Heart to heart conversations? Drink wine. Bad day? Drink wine. Girls night? Drink wine. Don't have a special occasion to drink wine? Drink it anyways. Girls love wine. Trust me, we don't only buy 2 or 3 bottles. Each person in the group gets their own bottle. It's more fun that way.

Spring Break planning is already in the process

Havasu? Mexico? California? It all sounds like a fun time. As a college student, spring break is one of the best times to let loose and where you choose to spend will make or break. Let's be real, your best friends can make this week a fun time no matter where you all decide to go. Don't forget the occasional drama.

Endless photos

Every group of friends takes a reunion photo when they see each other. We take photos for every occasion. It's what we do. During syllabus week, we take photos every day. Believe me, our iPhones are filled with embarrassing and great photos of each other.

Pool party season. Need I say more?

What are the two most feared words in the English language? Pool Party. The week you get back to college is the week you and your girls go to the gym to get in shape. Time to show off the new bikinis you've all been dying to wear. Pool party season is one of the best parts of Spring semester, no doubt. Get ready for the nonstop Instagram posts. We're in for a fun time.

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.
