Dear college seniors,

Being a senior is hard work. Between trying to finish your degree, trying to get our life together, and finding a job/grad school to go to when you graduate. But, MOST of all, the senior capstone is the biggest hurdle to jump when trying to graduate during your last year. Let's be honest here, senioritis is a real thing, and overcoming that is tough. Lacking the motivation to study, to do the research, and to show up to class can be some real issues seniors face when working their way through senior year.


1.

To start off.

2.

You have to start somewhere


3.

if you need help, GET IT. Failing is not a choice, one bad decision can risk your future.


4.

^^ See the above.


5.

Success isn't always easy. Sometimes you have to take the hard route.


6.

Do we really need to disobey Ryan Gosling?


7.

We've all been there. I wish I started doing a lot of things a year ago.


8.

Do the work and bask in its rewards later.


9.

^^ need I say more?


10.


11.

Have I mentioned you got this?


12.


13.

In everything you do in life.


14.

Take the chances.


15.

I Promise. We all got this.


So seniors, take those chances. Spend the time studying, spend the time writing your paper or doing the research. Seven months until we graduate. We can do this!


Love,

A fellow senior who is struggling

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.

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.
