11 Times Even The Genie Knew How Much Finals Week Sucks

Youtube

Ever feel like the end of the semester just refuses to be finished? That all of a sudden you go from a geni(e)us, to losing to a rug by the final few days of classes? Of course, we have all been there and we have all dreamed we could find a magic lamp with a genie inside to grant us three wishes.

Our first wish: we can skip all our final exams and still pass.

Our second: we can eat as much food as we want and not gain any weight.

Our third: canceled classes so we can sleep and start our summer vacation early. Sadly, these things most likely will not come true. But, we do have our lovely friend genie to help us out with some funny, relatable, end of the semester quotes. You ain't never had a friend like him!

1. When you realize everything you have left to do before the end of the year

Yikes, guess we better get to studying.

2. When other students start asking you for help on top of everything else you already have going on

"What do you need? What do you need? What do you need?"

3. Waking up from that deep slumber in the middle of the day

"Oi! Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck!"

4. When the professor says something won't be on the test but then it is

I will go all Arabian nights on your butt, professor.

5. When you're walking into the exam room and you realize you aren't ready

Is escaping through the window an option?

6. When you start to notice you've been stress eating too much

7. When the struggle bus (or should I say carpet?) is starting to lose control so you're contemplating bailing the school scene altogether

"Thank you for choosing Magic Carpet for all your travel needs. Don't stand until the rug has come to a complete stop. Thank you. Goodbye now."

8. When it's 5:36 a.m. and you're still studying, and you also haven't showered or changed your clothes in five days so you're starting to look real rough

"Tonight the part of Al will be played by a tall, dark and sinister ugly man." @me

9. When you've finished your first exam out of six total

I deserve some sort of recognition, right?

10. When you've finally reached summer vacation

"I'm history! No, I'm mythology! Nah, I don't care what I am. I'm free-hee!"

11. When someone asks you to do anything school related after your finals

Stay focused everyone, you got this.

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.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

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.
