Excuse my very heavy over use of the word 'bitch' in this article. Sorry, mom!

Dumb Bitch Energy: Do You Have It?
mikayla carr

I think the most important thing to start with is that the word bitch does not have to be a bad thing, a word is just that until you make it mean more. For me, I feel like being able to openly describe myself as a bitch is empowering like I'm taking it back from anyone who has used it negatively towards me. It might not make a lot of sense to anyone else, but it makes me feel like I always have the upper hand.

But let's get down to the good stuff, dumb bitch energy. If you're a woman anywhere from 18-25 you have experienced the dumb bitch energy moments. It's like if big dick energy had a femme cousin who was just kind of... a dumb bitch. I want to follow that statement by saying that I don't really think any woman can really make a conscious stupid decision, I think that it just comes down to want versus a need.

For example, every single woman knows an 'F.W.B' isn't really beneficial at all, in fact, it is the epitome of how to mess with your emotions and hurt yourself. But every single time, we just tell ourselves that it will definitely be different this time. But, it never is. This is a dumb bitch energy mood when you actively know that Kyle from Tinder is really cute but doesn't want you for what you actually are... c'mon sis. You know what's going on. You do not need Kyle from Tinder, he is just a placeholder. If he texts you at 2 AM he isn't thinking about how dope your personality is and you as an adult woman know that. But you choose to hit him up regardless because he is so fun.

Or when you know you have an assignment due in an hour and a half but like why not take another shot? You know why know but sometimes it is that dumb bitch energy that jumps out and bites you right on the butt. But the good news is that you are not alone, other women have felt the power that is.

To sum up your new favorite phrase of 2019, dumb bitch energy is when a woman, normally a boss bitch of sorts, makes an active regrettable decision. But we are not alone, knowledge is key. Now, we can work together toward actively saving ourselves from the 'D.B.E'

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.

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.
