To My Future Roommate,

College starts in a little over a month. We start living together in a little over a month. It's kind of scary thinking a few months ago we were complete strangers. Here are a few things to think of as we approach move in day.

1. I will try to be the best roommate.

I will try to put my work aside to hang out with you. I will try to keep our dorm "clean". I will try to let you know every time we need something or every time I get something.

2. I know I won't always be the best roommate.

My work will become too much and I won't be able to hang out with you. I'll leave a dirty dish siting around. I'll forget to tell you we need more toilet paper or that I already got more toilet paper.

3. You will always have a friend in me.

I will always be your shoulder to cry on, ears to listen, eyes to watch out, and caption creator. You are the Brooke Davis to my Peyton Sawyer and Dory to my Nemo.

4. I will always watch Netflix and eat ice cream with you.

I prefer vanilla, strawberry, cookie dough, or butter pecan but I'll compromise. I'll always be down for a good movie, One Tree Hill, or Grey's. Just know that if we start a series together and you watch with out me I will be very angry.

5. Communication is key.

Talk to me. Let me know if I pissed you off. Tell me if you had a bad day. I will always be there to listen.

6. I will never turn down a dance party.

If you feel like dancing, I feel like dancing. It can range from Hannah Montana to Fetty Wap to Carrie Underwood, I don't care. Spontaneous or planned. Early morning or late night. You want to dance, we'll dance.

7. I will take as many pictures as you want.

I don't care how good I look in a picture, if you don't like it we can take a new one. If you want to take pictures everywhere we go, okay. If your makeup looks good and you want to take pictures, okay. Unless I look terrible I won't turn down a picture opportunity.

8. I'm ready.

I'm ready to take on late nights together. I'm ready to take on football games together. I'm ready to cry together. I'm ready to laugh so hard we cry together. I'm ready and I hope you are, too.

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.

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.

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.
