Thursday Nights At Kent State Told By Nick Miller
Vulture

Here at Kent State, Thursdays are the last day of the week for us. Unless you have Friday classes, in which case, you usually ignore them and still check out for the week on Thursday. Lately, Kent State has talked about how they want to start enforcing Friday classes. We'll see how well that works out for them...

Even if that rule does get enforced, we will not stop the tradition. Kent State is widely known for going out on Thursdays. While not many schools understand, we don't expect them to, because anyone who doesn't go to Kent won't understand. For those of you who are reading and don't go to Kent, here is a look at what a typical Thursday night at Kent State would look like as told by Nick Miller from "New Girl."

When you first wake up from your nap and you try to get yourself pumped.

You are waiting for your friends to come over before to help you pick out an outfit.

You finally found the perfect outfit and you're ready to go!

When the uber arrives and everyone successfully makes it into the car.

You get to the bar and realize you're way too broke to be getting drinks, but you do it anyway.

When your friends get there and you're ready to tear up the dance floor.

It starts getting later in the night and you realize you have lost all capabilities to form a coherent sentence.

Therefore, you think it's a great time to go talk that guy over there.

You eventually find out what a mistake that was and beg for your friend to rescue you.

After that, you figure it's a good time for you to leave.

You wake up the next morning and your mouth feels like you just licked sandpaper.

Once your friends wake up you recap your entire night, trying to piece it together.

This may sound like a typical night at any college town on any weekend, but Thursday nights are what make Kent State into Kent State. Every college looks at us like we are crazy when we say, "we go out on Thursdays not Fridays; we use Fridays as our rest day."

Every other weekday before Thursday, we walk through classes and homework in zombie-like states with only our presence available, but not our actual being. So let us students sit and patiently wait for the next Thursday to come around. Although we might regret it when some of us, unfortunately, have to wake up Friday morning and go to class, it's not enough to stop us from going out every Thursday.

Don't fight try to fight the urge to go out, because you will regret not going more than going out and then waking up and feeling like crap. Kent State will always win and will always get the best of you every Thursday night. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

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. 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.
