17 Bucket List Items For The Rising FGCU Senior
Livia Chandler

It seems like yesterday I walked across the stage for my high school graduation. I can remember it perfectly and was so excited about college. Well fast forward three years, a very fast three years I might add, and here I am at the end of my junior year, about to be a rising senior. SENIOR IN COLLEGE.

What?! How did that happen?

The reality of preparing to graduate has fully hit, and I have came to the conclusion that I have a year left to "be a kid" and enjoy life as a college student. With that being said, I have compiled a bucket list for myself of everything I wish to accomplish before May of 2019. Ready, set go!

1. Go water skiing at the FGCU waterfront

2. Befriend a person in every class

Time is ticking to make connections!

3. Tell my parents a sincere, "Thank you" for getting me to where I am right now

Seriously, they are the best for getting me where I am right now.

4. Hike a FGCU Nature Trail

5. Work less (yeah, right, but I'll at least try)

6. Secure a big girl job

7. Regularly attend yoga classes

8. Go to the Comedy Club

9. Always say yes to late night snack runs

Or Walmart trips, those are fun too.

10. Embrace the good, bad and ugly of college roommates

11. Worry less

12. Enjoy the little things of being a college student

Like student discounts, and wearing yoga pants 7 days a week

13. Nap as often as possible

There is no time for a mid-day nap in a 9-5 big girl job

14. Attend on-campus events

The slide on the library lawn and free game nights won't last forever

15. The more pictures, the better

You have to have something funny on your Facebook to look back on in 20 years, right?

16. Stop rushing time away

17. Go to class and be thankful I made it this far!

Sure, college may have its ups and downs but its been the most eventful, growing, craziest time of my life- and I'm ready to embrace this last year of it!

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.
