Sometimes you just really need a study break and to treat yo' self to some relaxation time! And a great way to do this is through Netflix! Below are some of my favorite shows and ones I recommend if you just really need that break.

1. "New Girl" 

"New Girl" is my most recent obsession. Between the amazing chemistry and the cast, the funny one-liners, and crazy events this show is quickly one of the most entertaining things to watch. It also is one of those that you don't need to watch every episode in order to understand. I had seen a few episodes here and there and then just started watching the third season last week and I haven't stopped laughing since.

2. "Queer Eye" 

This is not quite the same as one of those 25 minute shows you can watch anytime as these episodes are typically about 50 minutes. But this show is workload SO good. It is 5 queer guys who make over straight men in 5 different areas: food, fashion, house, social, and physical makeovers. Each of the guys are so funny and loveable, not to mention that this show is quite emotional as each episode pulls you in with a story and a new regular person to root for! It's a great study break pass time.

3. "Friends" 

This show is a classic. It's easily the most rewatchable show I've ever seen. It doesn't matter if I've seen an episode once or ten times, I still laugh every single time and can pick it up and watch it anytime. It's a 10/10 recommend if you catch yourself stressing too much about school and just need a little break.

4. "Parks and Recreation"

This show is my favorite show of all time. Not only is it hilarious it also has characters that you genuinely root for and fall in love with and within the hilarity of each show there is also character development, a solid plot line, and just a family of people that you wish the very best for. I could watch this show anytime and be so content. If you haven't seen it it's a must add. And, not to ruffle up any feathers-- but it's better than "The Office."

5. "Atypical" 

This show might not be a study break, get your mind off everything type show but it's certainly a good one to watch. It is a Netflix Original about a teenage boy with autism. It's a story about him and the challenges he faces at high school as well as at home with his very dynamic family. Netflix just dropped the second season, and I highly recommend watching this show from the beginning. It's truly heartwarming and just a good one.

Hope all y'all out there are surviving in the workload! Remember grades are important, but sometimes you need to take a break and I hope now you have some options of what to watch in that break! :)

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.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

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.
