You come home from school after busting your butt of a stressful semester and taking finals, and all you want to finally do is relax. Between friendships, sorority obligations, schoolwork, clubs, and having a social life there is barely time for anything. But, when you come home it finally hits you that you can't relax quite just yet...you have to find yourself a summer job before the rest of the college kids in your town come and take them all up. You kind of wish to yourself that you set up an internship for the summer, but who the hell wants an "unpaid" internship....definitely not me. As much as I would love the experience, unfortunately my great looks are not going to fill up my gas tank on its own or buy me any of the summer clothes I wish for.

1. You come home from college and you realize that you are poor as sh*! because your parents have been the ones putting money in your account all semester and you have no way of supporting yourself.


2. You become angry with yourself because you want to treat your fine-ass self to some new clothes and sneakers, but realize you have no money to do so. I mean, hey, you just pushed through a really rough semester. You should be rewarded with something…right?

3. Well, you then decide to ask your parents for some money just so you can at least get started. They can’t possibly expect you to go job hunting without any gas in your car.

4. You call at least seven places and strangely enough, “nobody is hiring.” You Google every place you can possibly think of before you start considering giving up.

5. You then think to yourself that you like kids, so why not become a babysitter… What a fantastic idea! So you apply online to about 12 applications.

6. Well, somebody finally calls you back after filling out the 4,000 applications you applied to online.

7. You become super excited and put on your best outfit to try and impress the manager who will be interviewing you.

8. You are then asked to check off which days you are available and think to yourself how you just want to be an adult already because who the hell wants to work on a weekend when you could be getting your tan on down the shore.

9. Luckily, you kill your interview and the manager asks you to come back again tomorrow for a follow up. You get so excited because Hello Money.

10. You get the job and you feel totally good about yourself because now you can buy yourself all of the things you want (even though most of it will probably ending up going toward food and alcohol, but whatever).

11. You finally start your first day of work and you think to yourself how lovely it would be if you could get paid to binge watch Netflix all day because in reality that is what you would rather be doing.

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.

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.

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.
