We All Have Multiple Personalities

It isn't just a mental disorder.

Have you ever noticed that you sometimes act a little differently dependent on who you're surrounded by? Would you party in front of your professors? Would you use only professional language around your best friends? Here's a list of some of the faces we all put on every day. Keep in mind, some of these may not apply to everybody, but I've found myself acting like a different person more and more depending on who is around me and how comfortable I am with them.

1. Mom and Dad

Okay, mom's and dad's are different for everybody. But let's be honest - you're not going to a rager with your mom anytime soon and you're definitely not gonna ask your dad what he thinks of your new crop top for a party next weekend.

2. Professionals/Bosses

Whenever you're going to work or going to an interview, we all put on a personality of poise and professionalism. From spoken word to body language, you become someone completely different when you're being interviewed or when you're at work.

3. Professors/Teachers

This is very similar to the face we put on for our professionals or bosses, but you just relate to school instead of work. When I'm talking to my choir teacher about music, I'm going to stick only to music unless he asks about something else. And even if he does ask, I'm going to keep it as short and to the point as possible because I know that he doesn't want to hear about my entire life.

4. People You Talk To

Ok - there are 3 different levels of friends: people you talk to, people you're friends with, and best-friends. This is people you talk to. People you say hi to every now and then or faces you recognize are people that you're going act differently around. Typically it's a half smile, maybe you say "hi" or maybe you just lift your hand in passing as a sign of hello. Either way, you're not going to start telling these people your life story.

5. Friends

Friends are those people that you've had some pretty cool conversations with; people you would would go out to dinner with just to gossip about the new Freshmen on campus; people that you'll giggle with and maybe have an inside joke or two. These people you're going to be a little more "you" with. You'll smile more, maybe slip up and use a few cuss words, and just be friendly.

6. Best-friends

THESE BITCHES. These are the people that you're going to be either almost completely you with or totally yourself around. These are the people that you trust to drive you home after a long night of partying. These are the people that will hold you on your worst day and let you literally cry on their shoulder. You are truly yourself (or almost truly yourself) around these people.

7. Your Car

Ok, hear me out on this one. For me personally, I am only truly myself in my car. I am alone and I can be whoever I want to be. I can use as much dirty language as I want; I can sing as loud as I want to and dance however I choose; I can cry freely. Sure there are other drivers looking at me, but my car is my sanctuary. My car is where my entire personality comes out. I don't have to put on any kind of front.

These are just 7 faces we put on for the world. What other faces do you find yourself putting on?

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.

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.
