People say college changes people... and they are right.

Beginning college is like starting a new way of life. You change schedules, you're introduced to new things, and you experience new experiences. There comes a time when old habits are dropped and new habits begin. As change begins and you get accustomed to college, here are a few habits worth starting:

1. Wake up early

Wake up early and plan to leave early. Always give yourself enough time in the mornings and always give yourself enough time to make it to class, because running to class is NEVER fun.


2.Do NOT press Snooze

We all know that waking up in the morning absolutely sucks, but its just something that has to happen. Some mornings you may just want to hit the snooze button and go back to sleep but in the long run it will be better for you if you just get up. In college absences add up fast and you can loose credit for an entire class just from being out.

Tip: Maybe try putting your alarm out of reach from your bed. If you have to get up to turn it off you are more likely to stay up.

3. Morning Cardio

Cardio in the morning will help wake up your brain and body. It'll help you feel more energized and will create a great start to your day.

4. Create daily To-Do lists

A lot of people are into To-Do lists, but if you make one at the start of each day, you can be sure to get everything done and be super organized!

5. Tidy Up

When you wake up in the mornings make a point to Tidy up your room. This can range from simply making your bed to washing whatever dishes are dirty. If you get this stuff done now, you will not have to worry about it later.


5. Create a routine

Maybe you had a morning routine in high school or maybe you just winged it, but college is the perfect time to begin a routine or to being a new routine. Creating a routine will help get yourself used to doing certain things every morning and in which order. Getting used to a routine will help you manage your time and make the morning a little more simple.

7. Have a Quiet time

Weather you are religious or time, set aside a quiet time for yourself. This may be a time where you do your own little bible study or even journal, meditate, or maybe just simply take some time for yourself. It will definitely do you good and you will not regret it.


College Life does not have to difficult and can become less stressful when you adopt some useful habits and a good routine. Always try to be on time to classes and begin your day with a good morning. If you begin your day great then you lead way into having a great day!

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.
