A College Semester As Told by How I Met Your Mother

When you suddenly realize break is over, and it is finally the time to start back with classes...

The semester begins when the teacher hands out your first assignment...

You get your first assignment back, which you have dreaded to get graded... 

And you realize you didn’t do as well as you wanted, so you decide to go out.

You prepare to hit on a couple of people you see at the bar, hoping to ease the stress.

And you get upset because the crowd was not what you expected it to be. 

So you go home to the one thing that will make your night better: FOOD. 

The next day you chose to study harder for the next tests, but realize college is much harder than you want. 

So you continue the semester, scared now to open every grade that appears online. 

You begin to blame to teacher for not teaching you what you needed to know.

And you feel like you should probably just give up on life. 

But you realize you have already put this much work into it, that you should stick it out. 

And that sudden wake-up call allows you to push through the last bit of work for the semester. 

So you can prove to your parents that making college your new home was something that they can be proud of 

Because once it is all over, you can forget everything you have learned.

The semester will come to an end, and it is time to start saying some goodbyes 

But after all the stress of the semester you all will be happy, because you all made it one to remember and one you won’t regret

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.

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.
