Final Thoughts on Finals Week

  1. You’re sensitive AF. You’re being hella bitchy right now, and you know it. You cannot help it though. The end of the semester is giving you all sorts of feels.
  2. You haven’t been able to go to the gym, and it sucks. You haven’t necessarily gained any weight, but you also haven’t lost any. That’s a problem.
  3. Your sleep schedule is messed up. You don’t actually get to sleep anymore. You just take unplanned naps that usually last up to three hours.
  4. Anxiety levels are high. You feel considerably jumpy and on high alert for any personal attacks aimed at you. Try to calm down. It’s literally all in your head.
  5. Goodbye, healthy diet. You either eat junk food or you don’t eat at all. Either way, you can’t win.

6. You’re tempted to go to parties, but you know you can’t. Just one frat party, please. I swear I’ll behave.

7. You’re startled by the slightest things cause you’re so sleep deprived. You’re extremely jumpy. If anyone taps you on the shoulder or calls your name, you flip out like you’re in trouble.

8. Library sleepovers are lit (but you won’t actually sleep). Maybe it will help you understand what I mean when I say that I keep nodding off as I write this at midnight in the library...

9. You just want to be done with finals so you can go back to your small hometown and hibernate. Take me back to the home turf where I have minimal responsibilities.

10. It’s Christmas Time, and you’re single all the way. What could be more depressing? To be honest, Christmas was a lot more fun when you had a bae to be with.

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.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment.

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.

April Ludgate

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.
