10 Things Every College Girl Loses On A Daily Basis, In Addition To Her Mind, Of Course

I always say that I would lose my head if it was not attached to my body. Here are the other 10 things that I ALWAYS lose, besides my head.

Lost&Found

1. Socks

I can never find matches to my socks. No matter how hard I try, I lose one sock out of the pair. If I had a dollar for each sock that I have lost, I would have millions of dollars. At this point, I'm wondering if my washing machine is eating my socks....

2. Bobby Pins

I lose almost every single Bobby pin. I could buy a pack tomorrow and somehow by the end of the week, I wouldn't have any left.

3. Hair Bows

If I don't need a hair bow, I can find twenty of them. If I do need a hair bow, I can not find any. The worst part about losing hair bows is when hair is completely done and all I need to do is secure my hair, and then BOOM....no hair bows in sight.

4. Chapstick

I buy a chapstick almost every time I go to the store. Somehow, they just grow legs and walk away.

5. Car Keys

I lose my keys at least three times on a daily basis. I am pretty sure I lose them more than anything.

***One time, I was cleaning out my car after work one night. I threw the trash away in the outside trash can by my car. The next morning, I couldn't find my keys ANYWHERE. I was going crazy. My mom was helping me look for them and she checks the trash can...guess what she finds? My keys.***

6. Phone

I always sit my phone down and forget where I put it. I am always running around the house looking like a crazy person trying to find my phone.

***My Apple Watch saves me a lot of trouble. It has a push notification that rings my phone and tells me exactly where it is at. If I did not have that notification, I would probably be looking for my phone right now.***

7. Glasses

I take my glasses off at night and lay them beside me in the bed. Sometimes I forget to put them up and I sleep with my glasses in the bed. Or when I wake up in the morning, I'm blind, so I can never see to find my glasses anyways.

8. Remote

My remote is a lot like my glasses. I throw it down beside me in the bed. However, when I go to use it, I can never find it. Somehow, it gets to the end of the bed or somewhere completely different than where I laid it down at. I spend the whole commercial break looking for the remote.

9. Phone Charger/ Block

I always keep a charger in my car and in my room (dorm & home). When I leave the dorm and take my charger home, I can never find it. Or when I take the charger back to the dorm from home, I can never find it. I have somehow gotten better...a little better... throughout the years. The real struggle is trying to find a block. My family and I lose every block in the house. It is a miracle we even have charge on our phones most of the time.

10. Money

I could put cash in my wallet or my pockets and it will just magically disappear. I know what you are thinking...I spent it (especially if you are my mom or boyfriend). But really I did not, I just lose the money. I will put up money for a special occasion and not even remember where I put it.

Like I said before, I would lose my head if it was not attached to my body. Anyone who has met me knows that. Do you lose any of these things? Or is it just 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.
