PSA: DO NOT read if you haven't watched Prison Break UNLESS you are willing to read spoilers.

Coming back from vacation I needed a good show to watch. Everyone has been saying great things about Prison Break, and the fact that it is coming back super soon is also a plus. So about a week and a half ago I started up Prison Break. I maintained a work schedule, sleeping a good average of 10 hours and I managed to finish it within a week and a half. It's addicting. This is what it has done to my life.

Prison Break is weird I'm not going to lie. The whole HUGELY corrupt government and the many surprises the creators have up their sleeve, the fact that out of everyone in the prison with Michael he ends up bringing T-Bag the worst of the worst (who also ends up getting in his way and giving him a hard time accomplishing things.) Lord the frustration.

Basically, I WANT TO MEET MICHAEL SCOFIELD. He's like a brooding, dark, and sexy, like can I just hug him? His mind is brilliant. I'm always surprised and impressed with what he comes up with. He's the center of the show to me. I understand how some people think the center of the show in Lincoln because Michael breaks his brother out, but it's about Michael. What a man he is. I'm not sure how or what but something about this character makes me want to binge the show. I don't know how I'm going to wait week after week for an episode. I could barely wait the 10 seconds after the episode ending and the new one loaded.

I love Lincoln's love for his son, and for those he cares about. He just wants the best life the ones he loves can have. It's endearing and heartwarming in a show of killers, hunting to death, and death.

I'm in this haze right now of not knowing what to do. I know that I just finished the show, but I want to watch it all over again... and again...and again...you get the point. I also can't wrap my head around the fact that they ended this back in 2009. Like why wait seven-ish years to reboot? Lord my mind is boggled.

Going back to Michael, and his mind. He is so dense and it works. He works, the show works, the everything works. The fact that the tattoos were his map out of there. Holy...! AND MAHONE FIGURED IT OUT. And then Mahone became loyal to Michael. The world is full of unique forgiving people we just have to search and cross paths with.

Prison Break also showed me a lot. I know that the corrections system is corrupt. I've known that for a while. I've just never seen anything as bad as how Bellick (bless his soul at the end of the series) ran and did the things he did. Or how the other guards did the things they did. And when Sarah goes to prison and all the guards gang up on her?

AND THE GOVERNMENT! How none of the men (and Sarah) could trust anyone from the government. The way they handed Scylla over to the right man was shocking at first. Like man you alive? Okay..okay now where's Abruzzi? Is he coming back too?

This show has my mind racing with everything it's given me. There's not another show I could write this about. (JK GREYS.) There's this special way that Prison Break is that sucks everyone in and keeps them sucked into that illusion of fiction. I could honestly keep going. There is much more I could write about. Like, how every character can change how you feel about one particular circumstance and much more. But, I bet you just don't want to read anymore and that's fine. I'll be back one day with a part two. Don't worry. I'll have 100 parts on why this show is great and life changing.

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.

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.
