The Thoughts That Go Through Your Head While You're Procrastinating

This past week for college students has been absolute hell. It has been an insane amount of stress, studying, and too much caffeine. There are a lot of things that are probably going through your head while you are in this mild zone of panic and stress. I mean, I know that I was full of so many emotions, I didn't know what to do with all of them. But the important thing to remember is that when the week is over, it's completely done. You have absolutely nothing to worry about other than getting the chance to relax and go home and play with your pet if you have one. The holidays that come after finals are definitely the thing that keeps most of us going. Because of this, I have compiled a list of things that go through your head while you are trying to finish up finals for the semester.

"Hopefully the professor likes me enough to personally go in and change my grade to something higher."

"I probably should have gone to class rather than skip all those times so I would actually know the material."

"I probably should have taken notes or listened more in the class."

"There is something fundamentally wrong with packing all of my finals into one week."

"My head is too small for the amount of information that I have to cram into it."

"Is that really my 6th cup of coffee today?"

"Is it really 3am already?"

"I should really stop watching Netflix and start studying."

"I should not worry about cleaning the house now, I should probably study."

"Literally going to Walmart for no other reason but to get out of the house is not the best option at the moment."

"Death and dying would be a better option."

"I don't think I want to be in college anymore."

"Why should I pay all this money for no other reason than to torture myself during finals?"

"Do I honestly need more take out? I could just eat healthy. I would feel a lot better."

"Well, I definitely failed that final."

"I only have like 500 more words to write for this essay. Might as well wait to do it until later. It won't be that hard. "

"That was a mistake"

"I'm going to be better prepared for the next final."

"I am going to do nothing but focus for this exam and not let anything distract me."

"Well, there's always next semester."

Finals are always the worst part of the semester. But at least it's all over now and we can celebrate by gorging ourselves with food and fun with the upcoming holidays! Have a great break everyone!

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

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. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
