How am I going to plan out the perfect outfit for this weather?

The weather starts off with about 60 degrees, then goes up to 75 in the afternoon. At the evening it is now about 50 degrees, and then at night it ends with a brisk 30 degrees? Should I bring a sweater? Should I wear a dress and sandals? Should I wear my boots? The weather is just so spooky.

Should I plan and decorate my room for the fall?

Do I get fairy lights? Do I get pumpkins? Do I get candles? Honestly, when should I go to buy stuff to make my dull room more festive?

Is it really time for midterms already?

Hasn't it only been like four weeks since college started? How is it already the middle of the semester? How come I have three exams back to back on the same day?

Why am I so stressed about seven classes when I'm only taking five?

Should I really wait in this long line for a PSL?

From pumpkin spice latte to pumpkin pies, and even pumpkin spice rum, October is everything pumpkin.

Isn't it spooky how pumpkin just shines in October and then goes back to oblivion?

When is fall break actually happening?

I know the school year just started, but can fall break come already? Why do the first two weeks of October seem 20 years long?

What horror movies should I watch with my friends?

It's a task finding the perfect movie, the perfect night, and the perfect food for a movie night. But that planning is worth it. Everything has to be perfect for a spoooooky movie night.

Should I start planning out my Halloween outfit for the perfect party?

What should I wear this year? Should I actually try this year or wait last minute? Should I actually wear the same costume as last year and try to play it off? Hm.

Should I update my Insta with the perfect fall photoshoot?

The leaves are changing, creating the perfect natural location for a photoshoot. With the perfect knit sweater and beanie, October is the perfect time to update the Insta feed.

Should I scare the stress away at a haunted house?

Haunted houses are perfect. You navigate the house anxiously, waiting for some scares, but you can never anticipate it just right.

In a way, don't haunted houses remind you of college?

Should I go shopping for Christmas decoration at the beginning of October?

I know it's only October, but like, come on? Does Target have Christmas decorations that are perfect for my tiny dorm room, and should I buy them now so I have more time to plan out the perfect dorm room?

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.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
