How To Know You've Reached the F*** It Point

I'm not going to cut corners anymore and say that things are ok. As of right now, everything in my life is the most chaotic it's ever been. College has not been kind to me these past two semesters and I know now that it is truly taking its toll on me.

There are too many things I am doing and too many obligations I have that I can't abide by all of them. To make everyone happy is impossible but what happens when you no longer can make yourself happy?

I believe that everyone reaches this point. When you suddenly realize that half of what your doing in life is not worth the majority of your time; where you are so drained that you no longer can stand the basic routine of your day to day. It's the point that you here about in Internet humor and peers all around. You guessed it: the f*** it point.

It doesn't just happen after one bad day. You can't just reach the f*** it point from getting a bad grade or having some sort of embarrassing moment. That's just simple frustration or anger that things didn't go right. Sure enough you'll bounce back again.

No, the f*** it point is a long and continuous stretch of mental and emotional exhaustion. Sometimes it spans entire weeks or months, where one thing after another hits you like a ton of bricks. You find yourself taking continuous L's and not even being able to enjoy your day.

You begin to feel self pity and wonder if it's just been a bad year or if it borders on serious mental illness. You begin to neglect people you so desperately want to be with because you're too busy with everything else. Class is more difficult than ever to keep up with and every week feels like you're losing more and more control.

When you begin to truly reevaluate things that are supposed to make you happy, reflect on the past few months and what you've had to do, this is when the f*** it point begins to be reached.

College is short. It's the first time where you realize how fast life goes by and how much you don't want to spend most of it being miserable. It's the first time where you realize this is your chance to make it better.

So to anyone who feels this same way, embrace the f*** it point. When you start to live a life that is fulfilling to you, that is when things will turn around.

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.

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.

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.
