The weeks leading up to Thanksgiving & Christmas breaks are long and busy, filled with finals, projects, papers.

The work-load always takes you by surprise & you swear half of it wasn't even on the syllabus.

It's like all of our professors suddenly remember they have a job to do and lay it all on us at once.

Everything is due the same week and you prepare yourself to pull several all-nighters

But you must fight on.

After your first 24 hour streak of no sleep, you have to pep-talk yourself a little bit.

You're an adult, right? You can do this. It's only x amount of weeks, x amount of days, x amount of sleepless hours. This is what adulting is.

Eventually, you just can't take it anymore and if you see one more textbook, note card, or highlighter, you might just lose it.

Emotional outbursts are expected.

So, you do the responsible thing: take a Netflix break and binge eat some taco bell.

"Study?" You mean "tacos?"

Procrastination tacos are the best kind.

If you haven't been in love before, you are now.

After even an hour of procrastination, your grades are practically screwed.

You just have to accept it.

You finish your last final and the excitement is real.

You're just so proud of yourself for making it to the end.

When you find out you didn't actually fail everything, you're even prouder.

You know you shouldn't procrastinate next semester, but you also know you will probably do it all over again.

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.

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.
