I am going to be honest with you all, I've had a rough week. And this past week my two best friends (other than actual people) have been sleep and motivational wallpapers. I do not believe that I need to explain the sleep to everyone, but for the motivational wallpapers help me feel like I have my life together just a little bit more than I did before.

I don't always use the wallpapers as an actual wallpaper. Sometimes I just go online and google them, then look through them for a few moments as a breather. These are some of my favorites from the past week that I found that helped me for each particular day along with a little motivational paragraph that is similar to what I told myself.

Monday

Oh the bane of everyone's existence. Monday's. I have yet to meet someone who actually genuinely enjoys this day of the week. The wallpaper for Monday is very simple and clean, a fresh wallpaper for a fresh week.


Tuesday

So you've got one day down, six more to go. So maybe you messed up on Monday, or maybe Monday just wasn't the best day overall. But hey now, that's okay! You have another day to give life a go!


Wednesday

You should feel accomplished! You have successfully made it to hump day! You're at the halfway point! However, as I've been told by those who work out (what, you thought I did that??), the halfway point is where it really get's tough.


Thursday

Over halfway done before the weekend hits! Good going! But, like I said for Wednesday's wallpaper, you're probably tired. But I'm positive that you've been an absolute champ and hung on. Think you can do it for just a little bit longer?


Friday

You've made it! Just wait for the evening to hit and you've made it to the weekend! Now, before that glorious evening hits, why don't you get all of that work that you've been procrastinating on done?


Saturday

[Hopefully] You've gotten all your work done and it's now time for some fun! Try something new that you've never done before! No matter how old you are there's always something new to try.


Sunday

You've had a really busy and productive week. You've gotten so many things done and you've been blessed with so much. You should take today to rest and just give thanks for everything that you've received and been able to do.

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.

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.
