And They Cooked Happily Ever After

How many times have we have felt the pain of Tina Belcher as she tries to figure out the world. We got you, Tina, we got you. Or how many times did we want to literally destroy the world like Louise? I'll watch it burn with you, Louise. How often do we feel like we are in our own world like Gene? You do you, Gene. With all of our binge-watching, it's no wonder the Belcher family has become and icon among college students. We relate more to a TV family than those around us. Oh well, it's better than drugs, right?

1. Slowly going insane as the year goes on.

College seems like roses and rainbows until you find yourself talking to inanimate objects about philosophical dilemmas that you came up with at three-o'clock in the morning.

2. Free food is the best food.

Maybe it's the lack of money or the constant need for sugar and caffeine, but free food always, ALWAYS tastes better than food that is paid for.

3. Those teachers that you swear want to make your life miserable.

I'm not paying $50,000 a year to be harassed by you!!!!

4. Learning new things...

...mostly unhelpful, sometimes useless things, but hey, that's why I'm getting an education.

5. Finding where you belong.

Heck yeah I wanna join the engineering society, and yes, I will probably make some of my best friends there.

6. Doing absolutely everything you can to stay awake.

So. Much. Red Bull.

7. The Freshmen 15

What do you mean fruit snacks don't count as a fruit?

8. Re-inventing yourself.

What are you talking about?!?! I haven't changed!! I've always loved hard metal!!!

9. The ability to try new things.

I've never tried it, but maybe I'll be really good at filling the Brita with my tears.

10. Coffee is as essential as oxygen.

It tastes like dirt, but if it's helping me procrastinate on this 12 page paper, it is manna from heaven.

11. When college just, you know...

It could be worse, right?? RIGHT?!?!?

12. All the attractive people.

Oooo, the guy in the second row of my Chemistry class and I would make beautiful children. Does his major make enough money to support our family?

13. Meeting your best friends for life.

Yeah, I guess college isn't that bad.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Illistrated image of people crowded with banners to support a cause

StableDiffusion

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1520

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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

786

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.
