1. Oh, this nice

first, you're just enjoying your last day of relaxation, soaking up the final precious moments of freedom while you can, right?

2. Uh Oh

Then reality hits. I mean, you knew that school starts tomorrow, but now you really, truly know that school is starting tomorrow.

3. Maybe if I ignore it, it will go away

Time to repress reality and continue relaxing for a couple more hours! Unfortunately, ignoring the fact that school begins tomorrow won't actually keep it from happening.

4. My relaxation is TAINTED

Except now that you've remembered that school is starting tomorrow, relaxing doesn't exactly have the same happiness to it. It's been tainted with the knowledge that these are your last few hours of freedom, and they're slowly slipping through your hands.

5. Fine, time to face the music

Finally, you decide to just embrace the fleeting quality of spring breaks and accept the fact that school begins tomorrow. After denying it for so long, this stage may be difficult to go through. Reality hits hard.

6. I'm not prepared!!

You've just now realized that you are in NO WAY prepared for tomorrow. Mentally, physically, academically... And speaking of academically:

7. Shoot, I had homework

You had a whole week to work on your homework. You swore to yourself you'd finish it all the first few days of spring break. Or, even better, you'd actually work on that 10-page essay the way teachers recommend, with a little bit accomplished each day. But did you actually do that? No, you didn't, did you? And now you're in the academic sprint of shame.

8. When's the next break?

Halfway through homework, you run out of steam and scour your school's academic calendar for a hint of hope. If you're lucky, you'll get at least a 3-day weekend for Easter. If you're not, say sayanara to scuba-diving until summer!

9. I can do this

In the absence of upcoming breaks, you desperately try to enact some positive self-talk, convincing yourself that you can do this. You can finish a week's worth of homework in one evening! You can make it until summer without another break! You can finish this semester with a 4.0! You can!

And finally...

10. I need another spring break

After you've finished your homework, moved back into your dorm, picked out your outfit for tomorrow, and done anything else you need to do to prepare for the day ahead, you're exhausted. Who can blame you for needing another break?

Good luck to everyone heading back to school after a much-needed spring break! Remember: you CAN do this!

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.

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.
