A College Semester, As Told By Marvel's 'The Defenders'

The Defenders are awesome. College is okay.

A College Semester, As Told By Marvel's 'The Defenders'
The Defenders

We're not all superheroes like the Defenders, (even though they didn't like to refer to themselves as heroes) so unfortunately, we don't have Matt's super hearing or Luke's ability to not be broken. But this is what a new semester in college looks like as told by the Defenders:

When you have to fight people once again for the next semester's classes. It's a struggle and a jungle when you really want to take that Biology lab at 10 AM instead of 8 AM. You ask around if people want to switch and are willing to throw some hands.

Every morning on the way to your 8am class with your best friend: coffee. It won't even just be 8am classes. Your first class could be at 11am, and you'll probably still need it.

When someone thinks group projects are amazing. No. You're wrong. Group projects in a new class are always horrible. The people you have in your group don't even have to be horrible. It's just the fact of having to meet up when everyone has different schedules, or maybe not being on the same page when it comes to the work.

When you pass by dumb people on campus. Usually one of those conservative mini rallies for me. Or when you pass by someone you don't like.

When the professor goes from the syllabus to actual lecture on the first day of class. Like seriously, what? WHY? This can also be you when the professor says something you don't understand at all.

When you try to start your assignments early so you have enough time, but then they hit you all at once because you waited until the last minute. I hope I'm not the only who tries to be on top of their game, but falls on their butt when it doesn't work out.

When you finally get to go out with your friends and end up maybe a little too drunk. The week is over, and you just want to have some fun. No one is blaming or judging you.

Good luck to everyone starting a new semester! Let's all hope we kick ass like the Defenders did.

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.

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.
