College can get frustrating.

We are all guilty of doing these. But when someone else does them it drives us insane. Or maybe it's just me. Whether we are stressed, exhausted, or having a great day, here are some of the biggest pet peeves every college student has:

1. Sitting On The Outside Of The Row


Most of my classes are lecture halls. So there's always someone that loves to get to class early and sit on the end of the row. This means that everyone has to crawl over them to get to a seat. Why doesn't everyone sit in the middle and fill in? Excellent question. Personally, I just walk them with my book bag apologize like I had no idea.

2. A Group Of People Taking Up The Entire Sidewalk


Usually, this is a huge problem when the group is walking towards you. You know you need to get through them but they look at you like you're the crazy one. Personally, I look directly through them and I will bump into anyone and push people off of the sidewalk if I have to.

3. Walking Too Slow


If it's not a group of people making you late to class it's the one person in front of you taking their sweet time. Whether they are on their phone or just looking around taking in the scenery, they have got to go. We have places to be.

4. One Person Taking Up A Four-Person Table


So you have your tray of food and you and your friends are looking around the cafeteria and you see that all of the large booths and tables are taken and they all have only one person at them.

5. People Who Want Everyone To Hear Their Conversation


There are always people who have their phones on speaker while they call their friends or they are just talking super loudly in a quiet area. The worst is the people who have their headphones in and are screaming because they can't hear themselves. No one wants to hear about how Claire hooked up with Justin last night so there's no need to yell.

6. Obnoxious Laughter

UGH! Nothing is that funny! Why do people laugh 10x louder in public to get attention? It's usually girls fake laughing and looking around to see who's looking at them.

7. Not Holding The Door


Guys are the worst at this. I have had my hands full and had someone close the door behind them leaving me to struggle. Or I will open a door and an entire sausage fest has to walk through before I can. No worries. I got it. Assholes.

8. Playing Loud Music



I mean I am all for a dance party but when I am trying to study and I heard a group of guys three floors above me listening to "Ride" by Somo I want to put a pencil through my skull. There's this amazing thing called headphones. Give em a try.

9. The People Who Walk Into Traffic


Why do people think the world revolves around them? Your tuition is not going to be paid for because you walked in front of a bus. Now calm down and wait on the curb with the rest of us.

10. That One Person Who Answers Every. Single. Question.


We all have that one person in our class who always has their hand up first. Even if the professor asks a rhetorical question. We get it. You actually read the entire textbook. Gold star.

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.

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.

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.
