Yes, I'm Still In College, But That Hasn't Stopped Me From Planning Out My Dream House

Everyone wants to live in a nice home with the design and features they like. I am going to share my dream house and what I would like to have it look like. Ever since as a child I always dreamed of having my house in a nice neighborhood where everyone gets along.

I live in an area where it is not recommended to be close to your neighbors because they are not the best crowd to hang out with. I want to be able to knock on their door and ask for a favor without feeling awkward.

Now since we talked about the neighborhood, we can talk about the driveway. I want a nice clean driveway that's paved well. When my family or friends come by to visit, I want them to see a big available parking lot waiting for them. I know attending family barbecues can be a hassle when you have to park all the way down the street and then walk back up it again.

I don't want that, I want my visitors to feel welcomed by having an available space for them them to park and not worry about tickets. There's nothing worse than driving up to your friend's house to have a great time and only to get a ticket. Getting a fine to go see your friend isn't always the best!

Now as for the actual home, I want it to have a master bedroom, two or three small rooms for my future children, a living room, and a place downstairs where my family can relax. I want to have a game room, so to speak, where people children can play and a nice backyard where the adults can relax and drink.

I enjoy having family barbecues, especially during the summer when there is grilled food and a nice view of the outdoors. Nothing can't beat that and have music blasting so everyone can hear it.

I have always admired brick houses, it is a classic design that can never go out of fashion. I want mine to be gray with a white border and a black or dark blue roof. I want to have nice lightning with some beautiful chandeliers to add elegancy.

Lastly, I want this house to be passed down from one generation to another, so I want to build a secret stair case that will lead up to a nice view or balcony. I want the secret stair case to be decorated with quotes or woodcarvings from my family. In the balcony I want there to be a bookcase full of good reads and a small built-in speaker to play some classical or soothing music.

This is my dream house, I would like to know what your dream house features are, so feel free to comment below if you have any ideas! Achieving things like your dream house can be attainable if you put your mind to it. Best of luck and happy summer!

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.

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.
