Freshman Year, some of the best times and some of the worst times. All the lessons learned, decisions made, the sleep missed out on, the dining hall food taken in, were all part of an experience that will never be forgotten. As we gain freshman year under our belt, these are the reasons why Sophomore year will be way better than freshman year.

1. Registering For Classes

Oh yes, the order of registering for classes. Good news about being a sophomore is, moving right on up the food chain. Getting the classes you need will become easier and easier as you go.

2. Knowing Your Way Around The Block

After a whole year of confusion, mistakes, and learning opportunities, you know your way around campus, how long it takes to get from point "a" to point "b," and the best places to get food. Now its up to the upcoming freshman to endure the confusion.

3. Friends

All the people you've met over the course of two semesters and the relationships you've made will continue to grow into the next year. Knowing all your friends will be back in the same place after the summer is the best feeling.

4. No More Dorms

Most sophomores choose an alternate living space to dorms. This could be sorority housing, an apartment, or a house. Living away from community showers, loud hall mates, and annoying fire drills is definitely something to look forward to.

5. College Gamedays

College gamedays, especially in the SEC, is something to get hype for! Tailgating with the best friends is quite possible the best part about gameday (oh and the actual game too).

6. Bye Bye Freshman Year

Its been real, maybe even a little too real. Bye Bye Freshman year, Sophomore year - here we come!

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.

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.
