College As Told By Disney

College: It's the best of times and the worst of times.

College As Told By Disney

I am one of those crazy Disney people. My bed is full of Olaf and Minnie Mouse stuffed animals, and I am not ashamed.

College is stressful, tough at times, and a whole new world (No Aladdin pun intended!) As a true Disney lover, I have recently noticed that some parts of Disney films are so descriptive of the college life. Here they are!

1. Trying to stay awake during an 8 AM lecture is not the easiest thing to do, especially when you stayed up until 1 AM finishing up homework.

2. When everyone on your floor wakes up before you, and all you want to do is sleep.

3. Getting an email notification that you got a package is the best feeling in the world.

4. How it feels to pay for college:

5. Getting your first college exam handed back to you, realizing that you did a lot worse than you actually thought.

6. You zone out in class for 5 minutes, and then look up at the board. Was I really not paying attention for that long?

7. Your family always asks you, "Is the food good there?" No. N-O. It's horrible. No. Thank goodness there's a Chick-Fil-A on campus.

8. Since the food is not top-notch, you get way too excited when your parents send you baked goods in the mail. (My parents sent me chocolate covered strawberries-thanks Mom and Dad.)

9. At my school, we are not allowed to have candles in our dorm. So, you just have to hide them during room inspections.

10. When you wear sweatpants to class everyday, but one day you decide to dress up.

11. When you have that mid-semester break down, all you want to do is lay in your bed and cry (we've all done it before.)

12. Sitting in the lowest level math class, and the kid next to you doesn't know what mean, median, and mode are.

13. The horrible, dreadful, group projects. I mean, I don't need to get the same grade as someone who isn't contributing anything.


14. When the professor says, "Alright class, pop quiz. Clear your desks."

15. "What are you doing after graduation? Are you going to grad school? What are you gonna do with that degree? You know, you can't do that in the real world."

16. When that one annoying kid in class tries to argue with the professor.


17. Sitting in class like


18. When you hear someone say "Free food!"

19. When something terrible happens, but you have to act like it's nothing.

20. All the seats in the class you want next semester have not filled up (yet).



Most of these were a little cheesy, but I hope you giggled while reading! College can be crazy at times, so sometimes you need to sit back, eat some ice cream, and watch a Disney movie.

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.
