It's officially one month since I moved back home for the summer and started my four-month-long vacation. To me, as excited as I am to be home, part of me already wishes that I could be back at Rowan enjoying all the things that college has to offer. I mean, seriously, in the summer I hang out with the best people ever and have a lot of fun with my family, but not a day goes by that I don't want to go running back to the home of the Profs.

1. When you can actually move around more than just one floor of space and can hang out wherever you want.

Giphy

Like honestly, I love sitting in my living room, then chilling in my room, and then making food in a kitchen that is bigger than a bathroom.

2. When you get to see your home friends whenever you want.

Giphy

"You want to go to the movies? Or maybe just chill at my house? Down!"

3. When you can’t actually hang with them whenever you want because now you live in a house with people that do actual things with their lives, and you also have a job to go to.

Like nah fam, it's fine, go ahead without me and do all these awesome things. If it's between 5 P.M. and 8 P.M., it's definite, but any later, the likelihood is kind of slim.

4. When you get to spend more time with your family… for better or for worse.

I mean, you would think your fam would be thrilled to have you home, but it wears off the second you step through the door. Sorry, fam.

5. When you see someone you know take a picture at school.

Like I'm honestly insulted that I wasn't invited! It sucks even more that I have friends there all summer… like I miss you!

6. When you realize that you have to do adult things while you are home and seriously lack the ridiculousness factor that you had during the semester.

Giphy

I don't want to adult and run errands! I want to sleep until noon, watch movies all day, and be praised for doing so!

7. When you realize you aren't going back to school any time soon.

Giphy

I miss it so much!

8. When you realize going back to college starts the homework, papers, and classes again.

Giphy

Can I just pick the fun parts of college, please?

9. When you remember you have all summer to have so much fun with people from home and school!

Giphy

Live it up, people! Cherish your summer!

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.

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.
