Every College Student's Spring Break As Told By 'The Office'

"Oh my god; it's happening!"

It's Spring Break and whether you're traveling home or to Florida, everybody experiences the same emotions. What emotions, you ask? The employees of Dunder Mifflin know what emotions they are.

The Beginning

Class is over. Your bags are packed and your friends are all ready. This is, perhaps the most exciting part of the trip because you have NO RESPONSIBILITIES for the next week. Forget about projects or midterms or school in general. Things are about to get lit, just like the trash barrel Dwight threw a lit cigarette into to create this memeable moment.

The Travel

We've all been there. As soon as NASA invents teleports, you know everybody will buy them because travel sucks. Granted, if you have awesome friends then your car-ride won't be as horrible, but you can only play so many rounds of "I spy" before someone turns into Stanley when Michael tries to give a speech on the way to the beach.

The Arrival

Whether it's a foreign land or your own home, things may get confusing and lost in translation. Perhaps your parents redid the bathroom, or perhaps nobody speaks English. Inevitably something will go wrong and you'll end up trying to explain something badly. Just don't call a concierge a Geisha.


The Shenanigans Begin

Brought to you by what is probably the greatest cold open ever, this is the part where you can really start to relax. Your friends start running around, playing tricks on each other, and genuinely being hilarious people. If you're coordinated, you'll even create a videolike the hard-working employees of Dunder Mifflin did!

Restocking

I'm not saying that your Spring Break trip will involve alcohol, but let's be honest: We're all college students and we need something to get us through those rough nights. Remember to drink responsibly, and if you're buying 15 bottles of vodka for 20 people, you may want to reallocate some of your money into other things such as water or Gatorade.


The Drunk Shenanigans

Again, drink responsibly. But if you're able to recreate that scene from Titanic, go for it. You and your friends will all be having a blast, and you may or may not remember it. If you have a documentary film crew following you, great. If not, you may want to avoid posting stuff on Facebook until you've sobered up.

The End

Look, I don't wanna go back to class any more than you do. But sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Plus condos in Florida are expensive. Keep your chin up and DON'T CRY BECAUSE MICHAEL LEFT.

The First Day Back

This one speaks for itself. Remembering the great times you had and how you had nothing to worry about was great. But now it's time to get back to work. Granted you'll also have a hangover and chances are at least one professor scheduled something for the day when you get back, so just binge The Office(again) and channel your inner Michael Scott.

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.

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.

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.

1. You're tired of school food and have resorted to surviving off junk food and cereal.

2. Your financial aid/money is running out...and chances are it all went to textbooks and takeout.
