Camp NaNoWriMo

I have begun working on Camp NaNoWriMo, so here is an introduction

So, this summer will be taking part in Camp NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, which is November of each year and participants work to write 50,000 words in one month. Camp NaNoWriMo is similar to this but participants get to choose their own word count goal. Anything from 30 words to 999,999 words can be entered. One wins by completing their goal. Currently, I have my goal entered as 30,000 words, but I may move it up if I discover I am able to write more.

During this month and immediately following, my articles will include a lot about Camp NaNoWriMo as it will be a lot of what I will be thinking about. Once I am further into writing, I may include an excerpt from what I am writing or at least a summary.

Also part of Camp NaNoWriMo is cabins. These cabins are groups online which pledge to write whatever their given word count is. It is a community for support when you are struggling to write. The Writing Club at the College of Wooster has a cabin I am taking part in this summer.

I have started previous Camp NaNoWriMos but have never completed one, but I plan to have this year be different. I am very excited to write and I will be working on a story I have been excited to write for a while now.

I am excited to take part in this. Also terrified. As of right now, I am currently procrastinating writing by writing this article., so I should get to it. I can't wait to get to write about this experience to everybody who reads these articles, though. I better get to work on writing now.

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.
