It is Fall! Or Spooktober! Whatever you want to call it, but it's also beginning of college! While I know most of y'all might have started midterms, some of you have just begun (I'm looking at you quarter system!) With the beginning of college, most people dress up a little more knowing very well that sweatpants season will begin around the 3rd-4th week of college.

It's inevitable really, and I feel you. As a premium member of the sweatpants club, I know how much more appealing throwing them on is than shimmying your way into jeans. However, in my years of going out in sweatpants, I've found one thing always elevate your look, regardless of the ratty sweatpants, the midterms stress hair and general vibe you might be throwing; a nice black leather jacket.

I say black as I am a firm believer that black goes with everything. While sometimes having that pop of color can elevate a look, black is timeless. Also, it's the perfect place to start before you begin experimenting with other colors, cause while brown leather jackets can be luxurious and gorgeous, It's also hard to get a shade that goes seamlessly with everything.

As long as the jacket fits you well, you could wear anything and still look put together and in this world, where how you look is a representation of who you are, who wouldn't want to look like a badass who has their shit together? Bonus point? Leather jackets make you look so much more attractive; don't believe me? Case in point-

The point is - wearing a leather jacket and feel like a put together badass, despite whatever you might actually be feeling. Presentation of yourself is half your impression after all.

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.
