I'm so ready for no work.

I'm Using This Summer To Finally Relax And Be Stress Free

I never thought I would actually be counting down the days until I get to leave college and go home. I love being in college, don't get me wrong. My boyfriend is here, my friends are here, and I have the independence I've always wanted. On the other hand, though, I am so ready to be home.

You don't really hear about the bad things about college, like the seemingly endless homework assignments and how much time really goes into studying for the hard ass exams. I never really knew how to study before coming to college and I'm not even sure if I actually know how to study now, but I'm definitely finding out as I go.

I am so beyond ready to be done with this semester... ready to not be stressed all the time and to finally relax with my friends back home and spend time with my family, though it's crazy to me that when I come back to the school in the fall I'll be a sophomore (how did that happen???)

I'm seriously planning on having the best summer ever. I refuse to sit around at home doing nothing all day everyday, not when there's so much to do! For winter break I had an excuse, it's cold and gross out and I just want to stay in my comfy bed and not move. Summer, though, that just won't be acceptable.

Go to the beach.

I am so planning on going on day trips to the beach with my friends. Going in the water or just hanging out with some friends with some good music is going to be so relaxing and I am so ready.

Hang by the pool.

Me and my friends are constantly at the pool, playing some dumb games where someone always gets hurt, or just chilling and tanning.

Relax and watch that show you keep putting off.

Yes, there are going to be those days where you will lay in bed, but let's try to not make to too often.

I have so much planned to do when I get home, but most of all, I AM READY TO DO NOTHING!! Doesn't that sound amazing?

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.

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.
