5 Emotions College Seniors Feel During Their Last Spring Break

If the weather is anything less than perfect, I will lose my mind.

It is officially going to be my last spring break as a college senior in less than a week.

I will be the first to admit that it is a rough reality to accept. No more guaranteed breaks from work and stress. No more trips or fun activities with friends or family. No more putting my life on hold for a week because I can, so I will.

I know that I am not the only one feeling the reality sink in as spring break approaches, though. So, here’s to all my fellow college seniors who may or may not have realized that they are starting their last spring break, and are feeling the following five emotions that come with it.

1. Panic

Will we ever experience another break again? Will we ever be able to spend extended time relaxing with our friends somewhere warm, whether on a vacation or in our own backyards? Since when did we become adults with responsibilities?

2. Disbelief

Did we not just finish spring break during our freshman year? I swear that it is only my second semester of college and I do not have to have my future planned out. Simpler times …

3. Dread

It is officially our last spring break or vacation as students. From here on out, we may have vacation days, but there is no guarantee that they will be consistent. Also, we will never again experience the relief when midterms are over and we can head home.

4. Nervous

If the weather is anything less than perfect, I will lose my mind. I need spring break more than anything else in the world right now. Everything has to go according to plan.

5. Excited

Even though it’s the beginning of the end, there is still plenty to look forward to. After all, I have never done a spring break trip with a friend, so this time next week, I’ll be living the dream with my roommate in Punta Cana.

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.

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.
