New Semester Brings the Return of Cuffing Season

The first week of the new semester is used by most college students to judge two things: the new professor and the possible love interests that are in the same classes as you. With all these factors, millennials have developed the term “cuffing season”, the time within fall and winter that single young adults look to link up with a romantic interest to fill the missing void or companionship. Many students feel the effects of “cuffing season” in various ways, both embracing and straying away.

Ways to Participate

  1. Online dating apps, like Tinder and Bumble, are perfect for meeting people at your college and within the surrounding area. By communicating through the app, you never know how your matches can change your relationship status.
  2. Join clubs and go to meetings on campus to meet new people. You get to participate in fun activities and projects that will look good on a resume and you might meet that special someone in the process.
  3. Actually talk to that cute girl or guy that you sit next to in class! Start first by being study buddies so you exchange your cell numbers, and love can blossom in the back of the dreaded 8AM lecture.

Ways to Avoid

  1. Why try to Netflix and Chill with someone else when you could be gorging on popcorn and hitting the next episode button in the comfort of your own bed? You know what they say: If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
  2. Focus on your new semester by striving to make the Dean’s List. Your hard work and dedication will pay off in the long run and adding a significant other to the mix, is too complicated and not worth the added stress.
  3. If someone else is in pursuit of having a successful cuffing season and looks to you as a perspective interest, refrain from giving out your number or snapchat. Nothing’s worse than a late night text or snap.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
