I don't know about you, but I feel like I haven't even started this semester yet. It's going by so fast I keep forgetting what I've learned in my classes, and that's not good considering I've got midterms, and eventually finals. But I have nothing to worry about because I remember these x reasons why midterms aren't as stressful as we all make it out to be.

1. Your grade can still recover.

I mean, I failed my Computer Science midterm and still managed to drag my grade from the depths of hell to a C+. Try not to fail your midterm, but don't be worried if you do end up getting a bad grade. There is plenty of time to bring it up.

2. Your life goes on.

It is just a small part of your life. It's so minuscule to what you plan to do, it shouldn't even be a concern of yours. If you know the information, you know it. If not, work on it. It isn't the most important thing on your plate.

3. Still take it seriously.

Don't let a midterm stress you but don't let it mess you up either. If you have the time to study and the resources to do it there is no reason why you shouldn't pass.

4. Your professor is there for a reason, and so are the tutors. Utilize them.

You pay upwards of $18,000 for a food, housing, an education, and all the tutors and professor's time. If you aren't going to them you aren't using your money right.

5. This isn't the end.

At this point, we all know the midterm isn't as bad as the final. And between both of them are many more tests and quizzes. This is just a friendly reminder to stay on top of things, study hard, and don't let sleep deprivation rule you.

Good luck with your midterms!

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.
