Finals Week As Told By The Breakfast Club
Universal

Finals week is by far the most stressful week of the semester. Probably because you've procrastinated all of your final assignments and studying until the weekend before, but that's okay. We'll all make it through. But until Friday comes and we can all breathe again, we're going to be under a lot of pressure. Here's a list of things we go through during finals week that we can all probably relate to... as told by The Breakfast Club.

1. That feeling you get when you finish your final essay.

2. When the library is too crowded or too loud and you're trying to think of a way to get everyone out.

3. When you can't focus and everything is distracting you.

4. When you've been studying for six hours straight and you don't even know what's going on anymore.

5. When you look at the study guide and realize you have a lot of work to do.

6. When you look in the mirror after not sleeping for two days.

7. When your professor asks how you think you did on the exam.

8. When you've accepted failure.

9. When your professor omits a question because he didn't like the wording, but it was the only question that you knew the answer to.

10. When your mom asks how you're doing and you've reached your breaking point.

11. When you realized you nailed that exam.

12. When you hear someone complaining about having two finals and you're over here with four papers and three final exams.

13. When it's the last week and your bank account and meal plans are running out.

14. When nothing you studied is on the exam and you feel like your professor betrayed you.


15. Walking out of your last final like...


We'll make it through this together. Just remember: you got this.

Sincerely yours,

The Breakfast Club

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. 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.

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.
