College As Told By The Sims

Ever since I was younger, I have always been a huge fan of The Sims franchise. My sister and I used to spend countless hours controlling the lives of these pixelated characters. Of course, there were bound to be some hilarious glitches along the way. Now that I'm a sophomore in college, I have realized how relevant these technology errors are to the daily struggles of college students. Without any further explanation, here is my list of college experiences, as told by glitches from The Sims.

When you're trying to find a good excuse to miss class or work:

"Why can't you come into work today?"

"I've become a kitchen counter."

When you try cooking for the first time:

"Are you sure I'm not doing this right?"

When you're trying to study and someone won't be quiet:

"Just. Leave. Me. Alone."

When you stayed up too late studying for a test:

"At this point, I don't even care when or where I sleep."

When you do something stupid in public:

"Let me just 'nope' right on out of here."

When you hear bad things about something you like:

"Shh, I'm trying to hear them talk."


Of course, there are a lot of other glitches from The Sims out there. But I picked a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoyed seeing some of these glitches and how they relate to college students!

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.

1. You're tired of school food and have resorted to surviving off junk food and cereal.

2. Your financial aid/money is running out...and chances are it all went to textbooks and takeout.
