As more and more people travel during the summer, airplanes get more crowded. Airplanes can be comfortable, that is if you are paying for first class seats. For all the people who have to sit in coach, this is a list of things that you should not do and hopefully, you do not encounter them either.

1. Talking at the highest possible volume you can.

Let's be real no one wants to hear what you have to say on an airplane. Everyone wants to listen to music, watch TV or read a book. You are annoying everyone around you by talking out loud so please just don't.

2. Kicking or nudging the seat in front of you.

The seat is mine, it is not yours. Yes, you may have access to the back of it but that doesn't give you the right to touch it in any way. I understand an occasional bump but as soon as it happens more than twice you will be receiving a glare from me.

3. Push the seat back as far as possible.

We get it your seat can recline, congratulations so can everyone else's. Just because you recline it, it doesn't mean you can make it more comfortable. It changes nothing so if you could just do it a little or not at all that would be lovely.

4. Keep getting up to use the bathroom when sitting in a window seat.


People do not want to continuously get up for you. Make the bathroom trip once or twice if it is a long fight.

5. Babies...

Though they can be cute, they're annoying. Where are you taking your baby? It's a baby leave them at home and take a nice vacation alone.

6. Bringing smelly food onboard.

I understand, you're hungry and airplane food sucks. Can't you eat before the flight? No one wants to smell your food especially because we can't eat it.

7. Out loud bodily functions.

Farting, burping, anything along the lines of gross should not be done out loud during flight. Go to the bathroom-- it is that simple.

8. Opening the window during a night flight

Just because it's dark outside doesn't mean that it still doesn't shine a light in. Close the window!

9. Lights on during night flight.

Literally just turn it off. You're annoying.

10. Lack of deodorant.

You know you're going to be on a plane for hours around a bunch of people. We don't want to smell you, so please be hygienic.

11. Overhead bin hoggers.

Don't overstuff your bag. Don't put both bags you brought on in the bins. There is limited space so take what's yours and no more.

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.

The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.

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.
