Preparing for Graduation, As Told by 'Shameless'
NBC

For all of my fellow soon-to-be graduates, you know the struggle of having to consider what comes next in your life. Here are the stages leading up to that dreaded yet exciting day.

1. "Is it March already?"

Time flies when you're having fun...and by fun I mean stressing over thesis and midterms.


2. "Should I start looking for a job?"

The choice is yours, but at least this way you can have more time to get used to rejection emails.


3. "What if I don't actually graduate?"

Where there's a will there is a way...although that will is hard to find.


4. "How am I going to keep in touch with all my friends?"

Frank may not have friends, but you do and all you have to do is set aside time to make visits and keep in touch.


5. "I JUST WANT TO SLEEP."

Living your best life sure is tiring.


6. "I JUST WANT TO PARTY."

Sometimes you just need a night out with your friends to remember how amazing college really is.


7. "I better make the most of these next two months."

Now is the time to make as many memories as possible and take advantage of every opportunity.


8. "Where the hell am I going to live?"

These are the types of questions that will keep you up at night.


9. "How do I do adult things?"

I don't know how to do taxes or apply for an apartment, but I do have an overpriced textbook on philosophy that I looked at once.


10. "I'm not ready for this at all."

If Sheila can leave the house, you will find a way to make it through.


11. "Alright, I can do this."

You've had four years to prepare for this, you're ready!


12. "I'm out."


Graduation is coming, whether you want it to or not.

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.

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.

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.
