10 Things That Are Only Normal To College Students

Taking a nap at 6 p.m.? Eating inedible food? Sounds like college.

10 Things That Are Only Normal To College Students

College changes all of us. These changes can come in many different forms; most humorously, it can change our habits. Things that we once thought were strange before soon become the norm. To those not in college, these hobbies may sound like we need a psychological evaluation.

1. Showering at any time of the day.

Stressed? Shower. Worked out? Shower. Finished homework at 4 a.m.? Shower. Bored in the middle of the afternoon? Shower.

2. Ordering pizza at 2 a.m.

For some reason, nothing sounds better than greasy pizza at 2 a.m.

3. Falling asleep anywhere.

Falling asleep on my friend's bed when she wasn't there and waking up to her and her mom isn't weird, is it?

4. Leaving items unattended in public.

So, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, talk to 12 people, head to dinner and then go back to get my laptop from the table I was working at.

5. Wearing clothes until you absolutely need to wash them.

If it doesn't smell or have any stains, is there any good reason I can't wear this shirt for a week straight?

6. Being afraid to sleep in a room alone even if you did at home.

I spent my whole life having my own room, but as soon as my roommate wasn't there it's as if every creek sounds scary.

7. Taking naps before doing anything.

Going out at 7 p.m.? Better make time for that 6 p.m. nap.

8. Sleeping through more events than you'd like to admit.

You're lying if you haven't unintentionally or intentionally slept through a class.

9. Not knowing what a food is, but still eating it.

Is this lasagna or shepherd's pie? Is it even edible? Oh well, it's the only thing the dining hall is serving.

10. Sleeping in until 2 p.m.

When getting up before noon becomes a problem, you may have a problem.

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.
