Spring Break is the most magical time during the Spring semester. People really know how to have a good time and use this time to the highest potential. But what if you don't have any plans? I am here to help!

If you are going to stay in the Phoenix area, there are plenty of last minute things to go and do with a few of your friends who are in the same boat. Last year, my roommate and I took a road trip, and stopped at some great spots along the way. These are some great ideas to spice up your spring break!

1. Out-Of-Africa

This was one of my favorite stops on the road trip, because I love animals. This is no ordinary zoo; you never come across a habitat where you can't see the animal inside. Out-of-Africa also includes an African safari where you can hand-feed the animals, including a giraffe named Pilgrim!

2. Montezuma's Castle

This architecture from an Indian tribe is truly an incredible thing to experience. This castle was for the tribes "royalty," and farther along the cliff side are the caves that would have been the "homes" to the other members of this tribe. It's a great spot to check out during spring break!

3. Bearizona

Yes, yes, more animals! This zoo harbors animals that were hurt in the wild, or baby animals that were abandoned or separated from their mothers. This park has animal exhibits that you drive through so you can really get up close and personal to the animals. Make sure you role your windows up for the hungry wolves!

4. Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is one of the most incredible wonders of the world. If you haven't (or have) had the experience to see the Grand Canyon, then take advantage of Spring Break and make the trip to see it with your own eyes!

5. Sedona

Sedona is a prime tourist town where you can shop for souvenirs, and go on scenic hikes. Another attraction in the midst of this town is slide rock, which is a state park that you should check out if you're in Sedona.

6. Jerome

Jerome is a an old mining town that has been turned into a ghost town tourist attraction. Be sure to check out this spooky town and read about its history and legends. Also, try out the 'Haunted Hamburger' restaurant that has a ghostly tale of its own.

7. Fossil Creek

This attraction is a great place for the more adventurous outdoor types. Pitch a tent, start a fire, and enjoy roasting hot dogs and s'mores with your friends. Then enjoy a nice mile long hike up to Fossil Creek, where you can go cliff jumping, slide down the waterfall, or enjoy a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters.

8. Lake Pleasant

This is a great place for a day trip. Be sure to pack a picnic lunch and enjoy swimming in the lake. Make sure to bring a frisbee, football, and some playing cards to enjoy the beauty of this lake with your friends.

Make your Spring Break memorable, and try out one of these incredible spots as you enjoy your Spring Break in the great state of Arizona!

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.
