It's that time of the year again. The holidays have ended, a new year has begun and classes are starting up again. You're excited to get back and see everyone but you're also dreading the first day of classes. Mean Girls understands how you're feeling as this semester begins.

Saying goodbye to your parents

Thank you mom and dad for treating me like I'm still in high school all break and for asking me a million questions about my future that I do not have answers to.

Looking to see who's in your class

Because there's no way you're going to class without making sure you have someone to sit next to.

Making sure you’re early to class to steal the best seat

Not too close to the front so you won't get spit on, but not so far back so you don't look like a slacker.

Getting to class only to find you didn’t do the assigned reading for the first day

Because who assigns homework for the first day of class?!

Listening to your teacher ramble on about the syllabus

A speech we've all heard a million times.

And pretending you care what they’re saying

No texting in class... haha yeah right.

Getting called on to answer a question on the first day

This is just my luck... do I at least get extra points because it's the first day?

Finally getting through you first day of classes

Later class, time to party because #syllabusweek.

Deciding which new outfit to wear out

Sooo many new clothes from my many shopping sprees over break... what to choose?

And then panicking and asking if you can scope through your friend’s closet anyways

Why repeat an outfit when you can shop through your best friend's closet?

Finally reuniting with your girls

Just catching up on all the new gossip that happened during break.

And going out the first night back

Yeah, I guess I did miss all the frat parties and freedom while I was home living under my parents roof.

Trying to go to the gym hungover to keep up with your New Year’s resolutions


Why does everyone have to choose the same resolution as me? I'll just hide from everyone and join a gym off campus.

Going out every single night during syllabus week

Because no homework so, why not?

And then realizing you actually have to start to do work next week

And so the hard part begins...

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.

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.
