I thought summer school was going to suck. I mean...it's summer! I could be traveling, but here are six reasons for why I don't regret taking classes during the summer:

1. I get to graduate within four years

Giphy

I was super stressed after I added on a second major last quarter because literally none of the classes overlapped between majors, but now, I don't have to worry.

2. I can take my classes without worrying about the social aspect of it all

Giphy

Socializing is actually terrifying, especially since I'm an introvert. Thank God I don't have to deal with it while I'm taking summer classes.

3. I only have to take two classes

Giphy

It's so much easier than taking a full set of three or four classes.

4. I can stay in the comfort of my own home

Giphy

OK, there are actually some cons to this, but none too difficult to handle. At least I can see my family every day!

5. I feel more productive with my summer

Giphy

I obviously need to sacrifice any opportunity to work full-time or travel, but my brain is still being put to use. Hopefully, this productive mindset will last for the school year...

6. I still had time to relax

Giphy

Since summer school is only six weeks long, I still had a whole month to do whatever I wanted before summer school and stay relaxed like this hedgehog.

That being said, I'm glad that I chose to take summer school, but I also can't wait for summer school to be over.

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.
