The Life Of A College Student

As told by Nick Miller

College is such a great time. You are broke, you barley get any sleep, your life is consumed with pulling all-nighters and forgetting about quizzes, and your diet consists of vodka and Ramen. Nick Miller accurately describes the life of a college student.

When one of your friends gets engaged:


We have all been there. We want to be happy, but we are jealous, but we are happy, but we are crying.

When you're the DD at the party, but your friends want you to get up and dance:

When you're in a boring class:

When your crush likes your Instagram post:

Don't lie, you do the same thing.

Reading your friends' Happy Birthday posts:

When you're really feeling your outfit, but your friends tell you that you look stupid:

But you don't care, because you feel hot to trot!

Using your fake ID at the bar:

When you yell at your friend, but they love you anyway:

We have all been there -- after a long night, we snap at our friend, but they don't take it to heart and they love us anyway.

When you didn't study for your quiz, but your friend did:

When you actually dress up for class and everyone asks you why:

Duh...

When your parents ask why the money they gave you for groceries was spent at the liquor store:

Uhhhhh, well... I can explain...

When a cutie buys you a drink at the bar:

When you have a presentation, and you go into the bathroom to give yourself a last minute pep talk:

When your parents ask why you're failing biology:

When your crush winks at you:

And you're awkward and do the first thing that comes to mind.

When you go to your professor's office hours:

Coming back from Spring Break:

And getting your paper back from that Monday.

When you're at the party, but your mom calls:

Going out on a Thursday night when you have an 8 a.m. on Friday morning:

And I'm sure it will happen again next week.

Waking up after a night out and drinking all of the water in the Brita filter:

When you finally get enough courage to go talk to your crush:

When you meet up with that Tinder match:

And they turn out to be the weirdest person you've ever met.

Reading your drunk texts from the night before...

Going home and having a real meal for the first time in months:

Watching two seasons of "Grey's Anatomy" in one day:

Asking yourself why you would put yourself through a week long all-nighter for finals:

Getting your grades back at the end of the semester, and knowing your hard work paid off:

College can be tough, and sometimes can seem like it's more trouble than it's worth, but hang in there!

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.

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.
