100 Solutions For Every Problem In Your Life
Sandy Broscheit

My roommates and I have a little jar in our apartment simply labeled “Solutions.” It was passed down to us from some close friends, and within the jar are folded up slips of paper that have a random things written on them. Our Solution Jar is one of my favorite knick-knacks in our apartment, and I am honestly embarrassed to admit that I use the random advice it gives me on almost a daily basis. I firmly believe that everyone should have their own Solution Jar to turn to when the going gets rough, so here are a few solutions that you can use for any problems that greet you in your future.

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.
