Remember PJ day in elementary school? That was the best. Wear Your Pajamas To Work Day is kind of like that. Too bad it also falls on Easter so you probably won't be able to celebrate, but if you're still forced to work this day, do it in your jammies (and hopefully you don't work at a law firm).

Monday, April 17th - Haiku Poetry Day

"Haiku is the best form of poetry!" said no one ever. Even though you were never able to write one yourself, celebrate those with more talent on Haiku Poetry Day.

Tuesday, April 18th - Pet Owners Independence Day

If you didn't already get fired for wearing your pajamas to work, here's your second chance. Pet Owners Independence Day is about doing everything your pet does, and that certainly doesn't involve going to work. Lay in the sun, play some frisbee, and then take a nap on the couch. Ahh, the life.

It's not the most obscure holiday, but it's one of the most important. This Earth Day, remember that without our planet, nothing else would exist, so get out there and protect it, clean it up, and care for it.

So you made it through wearing your pajamas to work and then called in sick to take a nap in the backyard like your dog, but can your boss survive you participating in Talk Like Shakespeare Day?

Pigs In a Blanket Day is another fan-favorite food holiday (but really, what food holiday isn't?)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
