10 College Problems As Explained By Dwight Schrute

Folklore says that the years you spend in college will be the best of your life, and there is absolutely no denying that college can be a pinnacle point on our paths. BUT with all the good, there's bound to be a little ugly here and there. Here are 10 problems we face as college students eloquently explained by Dwight K. Schrute.


1. When you're trying to study at the library, but the table behind you is being obnoxiously loud.

These dirty looks are warranted.

2. When the WiFi goes out on campus.

'nuff said.

3. When there are WAY too many people in your BADD duty car.

"Oh, you already have two people sitting on your lap? Okay, let's squeeze in another girl to lay across everyone." THIS IS NOT A CLOWN CAR, PEOPLE.

4. That moment when you fail your first test in college.

Beware: This can often lead to a mental breakdown followed by a slight desire to drop out of school altogether. Deep breaths.

5. When your roommates think it's funny to pull pranks on you.


You know what's sweeter than jello? Revenge...

6. When you're trying to go out and have a good time with you're friends, but everywhere you go is beyond crowded.

Because nothing feels better than being stepped on and bumped into at any local establishment.

7. When you order food but the delivery guy takes longer than expected.

No, it's cool, dude. Take your time. My stomach is making noises that resemble the mating call of a humpback whale, but take your time.

8. When you think you look super cool while dancing but you look like this...

You just keep doing you, though.

9. When you pull an all-nighter and NEED caffeine.

You don't care where it's from or how you get it. All you know is that you can not and will not function without some sort of caffeine pumping through your bloodstream.

10. When you see someone cute at the library, but you're too awkward to say hello.

My sincerest apologies for my lack of social skills.

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.

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.

2. Your financial aid/money is running out...and chances are it all went to textbooks and takeout.
