College is a very stressful time. We have been put in a classroom our whole life and told what to learn. We didn't get to choose what we wanted to study. Now sudden;y we need to know what makes us excited and what we want to do the rest of our lives.

The. Rest. Of. Our. Lives!

This is a lot of pressure!! We just became legal to buy lottery tickets or even legal to drink, and now we have to figure out the field of the rest of our lives?!

College is about studying something that makes your heart beat faster (in a good way). When you find your passion and something you love, college won't feel like work. Yes, there will be challenges and there will be stressful moments, but it will make you better and stronger in the field you enjoy!

Here some signs you may be in the wrong major:

1. You wake up in the morning and drag your feet to class.

2. When you open your textbook it looks like an ancient, forgotten language.

3. You cry at the first question on the midterm.

4. You can't find the excitement in your assignments.

5. You aren't having fun in college and you cannot wait for the semesters to be over.

6. You freak out when someone mentions your major at a social event.

7. You have to talk yourself into staying when you know there's a different field you'd rather study.

8. You are only studying this field because someone told you to.

9. You never smile at school!

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.
