What to Get This Father's Day
Erin Eaton

My father is a very hard man to shop for. He's into racing cars, running, and his Doberman. He's also one of those people that buys everything that he needs at the time he needs it, so no one else has a chance to buy it for him. I always ask him for ideas for Father's Day, but, like every other dad, he says, "Nothing." So if your dad is like mine and he never gives any hints, here are a some gift ideas for your stubborn father.

If your dad is athletic try some of these small but handy gifts:

1. Running Arm Band


2. Fitbit


My dad really loves his Fitbit Charge HR. For him, it's about tracking his activity and heart rate. Different versions of the Fitbit track different things like: sleep, heart rate, steps taken, miles walked, calories burned, and stairs climbed.

3. Oakley Sunglasses


Be careful with these! They are quite expensive, so don't lose them in the ocean like my dad did!

If your dad is more technologically advanced than you, here are some cool gadgets:

1. Power Cube

The gift that keeps on giving for everyone in the family!

2. AERIX Drones

If your dad has an inner child, here you go!

3. Dancing Water Speakers


4. PlayDate


Wonder what your pets do while you're not at home? Now you can, with a ball that has a built in camera.

For stylish dads:

1. Fossil Watch


2. Cufflinks

3. Yeti LowBall

With this, your dad can make mixed drinks on the rocks with the cup that will keep his drink cold for hours!

There are all types of dads. These are just some ideas. There is something out there for every father on their special day! Amazon and Ebay are great websites to get a great deal for whatever you decide to purchase this Father's Day. Remember that it's the thought and love that counts. Don't worry about its being perfect, because I'm sure he will appreciate it all. He loves you, after all.

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.

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.

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.
