7 Gifs That Describe Pay Day
Scene or Seen 101

Pay Day, the day that solves all your problems. Well, that is supposed to solve all your problems. Every two weeks us hardworking employees anxiously wait for Pay Day to arrive and bless our bank accounts. For most people, Pay Day usually lands on a Friday, which means we finally have money again to spend during the weekend, right? Well, that's not always the case. Pay Day is a wonderful day that brings many people joy, but it can also be another reminder of just how broke you really are. Here are a few gifs that perfectly describe the ups and downs of Pay Day.

1. The day before

A gif to resemble the day before Pay Day. Some people may spend this day trying to calculate how much they are going to get this pay period and try to do the responsible thing and figure out how much money is going to bills and important stuff. Others (like me) spend this day dreaming about all the ways they are going to blow their pay check on ridiculous non-necessity things. Either way, all we want is our money!

2. Pay Day

Finally, Pay Day arrives and this gif perfectly demonstrates the happy dance we all do while counting our money after we stop at the ATM after Pay Day. If you don't have your Pay Day money dance you aren't doing Pay Day right.

3. The celebration

On Pay Day we feel like we can do anything that involves money. Anyone who works hard for a paycheck should be allowed to use their money any way they please, but sometime we get carried away with our paycheck and start throwing money around like it's nothing. #makeitrain

4. The illusion of a nice check

A gif so perfect it's ridiculous. This gif is a great representation of how, for some reason, we always seem to talk ourselves into buying something we know we shouldn't be spending our pay check on because thinking is for the poor.

5. The reality of adulthood

This gif describes the way we feel on Pay Day when we realize we have to use half of our check on bills. All we want is to enjoy our money, is that too much to ask?!

6. The reality of reality

This gif is a representation of the exact moment you check your bank account after a long weekend and paying those bills you had been dreading.

7. The conclusion

Since you blew all your money on pointless stuff and bills, here you are, explaining to your friends why you can't make it to the bars tonight. See you in another two weeks, Pay Day!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
