Hello everyone, today I and your summative peers will be judging you based on what you brought home from our favorite corporate mass producer. Get ready to face your poor life decisions you made at 9 PM because you were in need of… Something. But, just HOW desperate were you? Scale of one to 10, c’mon.

  1. Not That Desperate At All, Actually.

You’ve managed to come home with the items you need AND want, like that fruity new shampoo or double A batteries. You don’t know what a dragon fruit tastes like, but you’ve always wanted to try it. Congratulations, you’ve survived another shopping-trip well off.

2. What The Heck.

Instead of what you needed, you actually picked up mascara and products guaranteed to help improve your self- esteem. It’s not like you wanted 5 colors of loofah, but it was buy three get two free. Who needs groceries anyway?

3. Okay Now-

You just got videogames. What is wrong with you I thought you had every version of Legend of Zelda wait there’s a new one

4. The Return

You got everything, made sure you got everything, packed up everything in the car, drove through five miles of rush-hour traffic only come home and realize you’ve forgotten toilet paper. Shit.

5. There’s Nothing

There’s nothing here that you or anyone else living with your strange-ass needs. What is this? FlexSeal? You know that stuff on T.V. doesn't work oh my god you brought home a cat Target doesn't sell cats what the fuck

6. Starbucks

You just went into Target to go into the Starbucks that’s in the Target just to order a caramel frap with extra whip. You leave. That’s all you got. A coffee. You do know that there’s two more Starbucks down the street, right?

7. Popcorn M&M’s.

You just got popcorn and a bag of M&M’s. Pop-Secret. Extra Butter. Two bags of multi-colored chocolate spheres, just in case. Oh man.

8. I Forgot

You forgot what you came into Target for. No, seriously, you can’t remember what is it you need. You just wandered around for the last half hour and bought something tiny at the self-checkout not to seem awkward. What is that in your hands is it Trident. Really dude. Cinnamon Trident.

9. You bought a movie on DVD

You bought a movie on DVD. Do they still make DVDs anymore?

10. The Escape Artist

Due to the fact that no one enjoys contending with the concept of Time, you’ve gotten yourself into the Target five minutes before it closes. After getting every last single item you need, you rush through the checkout only to see the manager locking the sliding doors. They shut off the lights in the industrial ceiling. You’ve been locked in a Target due to your deep, deep desire for some Doritos. Good luck finding a sane way out.

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. 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.
