College Explained: Freshman Year vs. Senior Year

Hello everyone. I know it has been a long while since I have written on here, but I am back. Since it is the new year, I am going to bring about the difference between freshman year in college and senior year in college.

1. You procrastinate going back to school. Most freshmen arrive in their college town early (a week early). Seniors, on the other hand, arrive until the last minute to come back to college.

2. You hit the snooze button 1,000,000 times. You could not sleep the night before your first day of freshman year because you were too excited for the next day. By the time senior year rolls around, you stop caring.

3. Sweatpants are the Holy Grail. When you were a freshman, you laid out your clothes the night before after trying out everything in your closet. In senior year, all the cute outfits are replaced by sweatpants.

4. No new friends. Being a freshman means you get to meet new people and find your clique. When you are a senior, you've already found your friends. No need to try and make a bunch of new friends in your senior year.

5. Anxiety kicks in. Freshmen do not have to worry about their future at the moment. However, on their first day of senior year, they will be filled with questions that need answers.

As you go through freshman year, consider what you want to do with life before you get to senior year.

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.

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.
