An Open Letter To God About Second Semester
The Vermillion

Dear God,

First of all, I wanted to thank you for helping me get through last semester. I had some tough classes and assignments, but I know you were there cheering me on. Spring semester is going to be more challenging than the last, so I really need your help with this one. But as Deuteronomy 31:6 says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." I know that you are always by my side and that you will help me in my time of need this coming semester.

Lord, I am going to be very busy this semester. I really need your guidance to remember to take breaks when I am feeling too overwhelmed. I have some classes that will be challenging for me. I need your peaceful hand to be upon me when I get too anxious about the things I will face this semester. I know that when I am having a rough day, as long as I pray to you, I know you will help turn it around for me.

I would like to ask you to continue to bless the relationships I have made so far at school and allow me to build relationships I started with people last semester. It's never too late in your college career to make friends, and I have a feeling this will be one of those semesters where I connect with a new friend. I'm getting into more of my major classes and would like to form relationships with others with the same major as me.

Like I said before, I know you are always with me and I know you will continue to be there for me this semester. I pray for peace, guidance, patience, and an open mind as I go head first into the semester. Thank you for all the blessings in my life.

Love,

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.

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.

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.
