11 Signs You Know You're Ready For It To Just Be Summer Already
Jenna Pizzi

As it continues to snow, all I keep thinking about is summer. Being home tanning with your friends on the beach.. what could be better?

Here are signs when you know you're ready for the sunshine and tan lines:

1. You're already shopping for bathing suits

You're lying if you say you haven't even started looking online. (Don't forget to ask mom and dad for that beloved credit card.)

2. You start sending pictures from last summer in your group chat

Seeing all of the good times that you guys had will most definitely put you in the summer mood. Beach pictures, house parties and, most importantly, the food. You know you miss it.

3. You won't stop complaining about how pale you are

Get this girl some Vitamin C, pronto!

4. You start making plans with your school friends about when you're visiting

The withdrawal will be real but that's why there is always time for a little road trip!

5. You spend a little more time at the gym

Yeah definitely don't look like this at the gym. The goal is to avoid every mirror in sight so I don't see the sweaty mess that I am. If I can't see it, maybe it's not real.

6. You decide it's time to start eating healthy

Aka, only eating two slices of pizza instead of four. Compromise.

7. You start to give up on your classes

Yup. Kimmy K on point right there. My mood every time I walk into class.

8. You're so over the cold weather

Bring on the shorts and tank tops.

9. You JUMP on those pre-summer sales

"Mom, I needed it. It was a two for one deal, how could I say no?"

10. You wear shorts even if it's a little warm out

You know you are sooo over your heavy coat and sweaters. It's time for shorts and t-shirts... but why doesn't the weather know that?

11. You have a countdown for Memorial Day Weekend

There is no better start to your favorite time of the year other than Memorial Day Weekend. Just you, your friends and some good times.

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.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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.
