The Life Of A College Student : As Told By Lizzie McGuire

This sassy, kooky heroine of our youth tells it like it is. Here's the life of a college student as told by Lizzie McGuire.


You will eat just about anything, anytime. College kids don't discriminate when it comes to food.

Fear not, outfit repeaters! Unlike high school, you can wear that cute outfit again. Your Tuesday/Thursday class doesn't know about your Monday/Wednesday life!

You can talk to mom, write a paper, paint your nails and basically do just about everything. It is because you want to? Not exactly, but how else do they expect you to get everything done!

Responsibility sucks. Paying bills, cleaning your dorm room, and other aspects of "adulting" are not exactly fun ways to spend your time.

What is sleep? I certainly don't know. Sleep deprivation is a reality in college, and it can make people loopy enough to try and give a wall a thumbs up.

College is full of adventure! If your goal isn't to have fun and make memories with your best friends, you're doing it wrong.

This is your face when all of your projects and tests and other various forms of torture are assigned for the same date. It's like teachers have a supersense for when the absolute worst time for you to have another assignment.

We're broke. We live on ramen noodles, easy mac, and bags of popcorn. We use our products to the very last drop. Want to go to the movies? Forget it! (There's Netflix). Want to go get a fancy dinner? Nice try, but I think you forget to look at the wallet of yours. If you open it, you might even see a tumbleweed fall out.

The G-Word is terrifying. If you thought that dealing with responsibility is scary in college, there's nothing scarier than walking across that stage and having to officially be a grown up.

It will all be alright. After all, we're the generation of Lizzie McGuire. How could we not be alright?

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.

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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
