It's Been a Long Winter Break

1. Nails done hair done everything did / Oh you fancy huh

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

2. They just spent like two or three weeks out the country /Them boys up to something they just not just bluffing

Forget two or three weeks, it feels like you've been gone forever and you're ready to get into some trouble with your crew.

3. I know way too many people here right now that I didn't know last year / Who the f*ck are y'all?

You've been so isolated at home that you forgot you actually have a lot of friends at IUP. Yet when you go out you still manage to see a million people you've never seen. How this is possible after so many semesters at IUP I’ll never know.

4. No new friends

Your squad is solid.

5. I got the drink in me goin' back to back

SYLLABUS WEEK!

6. If I ain't the greatest then I'm headed for it

Syllabus week dies and once the semester starts to kick in you slowly realize how much work you have to do, but you’re ready to go and put the work in. You feel like after you’ve had a break full of rest you can put your full effort in. This is about to be your best semester yet, you hope.

7. Everything's adding up, you've been through hell and back

You know it’s going to be a rough semester trying to accomplish all of your goals.

8. Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments

That’s not to say some good won’t come out of your hard work this semester and you plan to celebrate your successes. Every. Last. One.

9. I was runnin' through the 6 with my woes

And through the ups and the downs you’re glad to be back with your woes to make it through it all.

10. So just hold on we're going home

We’ll be back soon enough.

11. Man what a time to be alive

I love you, IUP.

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.

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.

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.
