Living In My Apartment

It is a good experience

Living In My Apartment

It has been a full week since I have moved into my new apartment, and let me tell you it has pretty cool. I get my own space, my own freedom and I can get my alone time, instead of a roommate that is in a dorm always there. If I want to be by myself I can go to my room and shut the door and be by myself.

I was a little nervous about getting to school and back, but it has been quite easy. There is a shuttle I can take from my apartment to school, which has worked extremely well. I just show them my school ID and get on the shuttle, and off to school I go. There are also really nice people I can talk to while I’m waiting for the shuttle and sometimes when I’m on the shuttle, that makes it a little better.

I have to admit I had to call my roommate one night to come pick me up in the apartment complex because I got lost. I was so embarrassed about it, I didn’t even want to look them in the face. Of course they made fun of me a little. There were people out so I had to pretend I knew where I was going, but I did ask two people who had no clue where my building was. In my defense it was at night and it was dark.

It is kind of weird, but my favorite thing about the apartment is that we have a kitchen table. Yeah that’s weird. I like it because for the past two years of college I had to eat on my bed, so it’s nice to have a real place to sit while eating my meals. It makes it feel like a real home instead of just a room.

Another good thing about living in the apartment is that I like my roommates. We are most part respectful of each others things. Not going into others room when they are not there, not eating each others food and being quit in the morning when the others are sleeping and we are getting ready in the morning. I’m really lucky to have roommates like that.

We never see one of our roommates because she never is here. It is good and bad. It is good because she was a random roommate so the three of us friends get to be alone together. It is bad because we don’t get to know her because she seems like a nice person of what we know about her.

I am definitely excited to see what the rest of the year has to bring with the apartment, roommates and of course the important school. I know occasionally we will get in a little tiff, but that is with all roommates, there will always be disagreements around the apartment. I think this is going to be a great school year, and I cant wait what it has in store for me.

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.

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.

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.
