Finals Will Not Get the Best of Me
Adrianna Laskowski

Finals week is approaching and giving me anxiety. Guess all the time I spent looking up random website and watching Netflix during class has finally caught up with me. Sitting in the review classes and not knowing 50 percent of the information is giving me a little bit of stress. Okay, a lot of stress, and I have no idea what I am going to do about it.

As I sit in class, finally listening to the professor, I realize it is time to buckle down and study. I will not let finals week get the best of me. I will not have a mental breakdown over the ideals in a working-class family. It is time for me to sit down and study the notes that my friend has written, and learn the information that I should have learned in the beginning of the semester. Index cards are set out all over my room, along with notes, textbooks, and highlighters.

Guys, take my advice--do not slack off. It will be the death of you. This is the time to learn new things that you are interested in. College should not be as stressful as it is to me during finals. I know this may sound like one of your professors during the beginning of the semester, but they are not kidding. Pay attention, do not be like me. I am close to having a mental breakdown all because I wanted to watch the new season of the "Fuller House." I could have watched it at midnight instead of watching it in class when the professor was going over the “easy” final.

Finals week should only be a little bit stressful, because you must study the things you already know. It should not be you must learn an entire semester of work in one night.

Good luck guys!

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. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.
