Anyone who has had problems with their wisdom teeth knows how much of a pain they can be. I, myself, have had the displeasure of spending my entire Spring Break recovering from a good ol’ fashioned extraction. As someone who’s never had a cavity in his life, I felt cheated. Lately, a friend of mine has been complaining to me about how terrible her roommate is. After noticing some incredible similarities, I've noticed that Wisdom Teeth are just your mouth's bad roommates.

You’ve heard of bad roommates before coming to college, but your optimistic and don’t think it’ll happen to you.

Of course you’ve heard about other people having issues with wisdom teeth, but it can’t happen to every one right? However, come one faithful dentist appointment and you find out all your wisdom teeth are impacted. Just like meeting your awful roommate on move in day!

They’ll make your room dirty no matter how hard you try to clean it.

No matter how well you brush, food is still very likely to get stuck in your wisdom teeth. This puts you at a much higher risk of getting a cavity. Those old school Crest commercials that had me believe that all I needed to avoid cavities was the right toothpaste.

When they’re not there you don’t notice them, but as soon as they arrive, they’re just painful to be around.

Everything was fine until your wisdom teeth started growing. Now that they’re officially in your life, they’re starting to become a major nuisance.

The longer they’re with you, the more likely they are to screw up your entire College life.

Having bad roommate can ruin your social life. Their gross habits and unpleasant behavior can scare away all your friends, just as your wisdom teeth crowding out your pallet can be pushing them out of your mouth and leaving them seriously crooked.

They serve no purpose other than making your life miserable.

Honestly, why are they even called "wisdom teeth" if 73% of the population has issues with them? Was it just some clever and ironic pun?

You complain to your RA long enough until he or she decides to help you get rid of your awful roommate, much to your elation.

Your RA is your dentist in this scenario, and when your dentist’s final decides that it’s time to take those little punks out, you couldn’t be happier.

That is until you find out it may be harder to get rid of them than you originally thought.

Your dentist gives you the unfortunate news that this extraction is going to be PAINFUL, just as painful as the bureaucratic mess removing your roommate can be.

You hated every second of them being there, but now that they're gone you finally can appreciate the extra space.

Now that those wisdom teeth are gone, your mouth has space that your other teeth can enjoy!

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.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

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.

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.
