There is a lot happening during this election. Every day there seems to be a new scandal or drama. So, to help keep track of all the election highlights so far, Dunder Mifflin is here to break it down for us:

1. When you heard Trump was running:

We all thought it was a joke... and then it became very real. In fact it became yuuuuge.

2. When candidates dropped out of the race:

Tbt to Ben Carson the neurosurgeon. And Ted Cruz. Oh and remember Rick Santorum? Me either. But Gary Johnson- he's still in it!!

3. Bernie supporters toward Hillary when she took the nomination:

They are not pleased and they are certainly NOT with her. Feelin' #berned

4. Hillary, when people use her email scandals against her:

Casually has thousands of emails missing but apparently the rules don't apply to her. Because she's Hillz. The first female nominee.

5. When we think about how Trump made it this far:

Just...how? Someone, anyone, please explain how.

6. Trump's facial expressions:

That smile though. Sometimes, when he squints real hard, his eyes fully disappear.

7. Bernie and company:

America was really feeling the bern and now they are just feeling berned. A for effort! It was a good run.

8. When Trump gives himself a compliment:

He doesn't need anyone's money because he's really rich. Must be nice.

9. Trump talking about his background:

"You're fiya-ed".

10. Bernie or Bust:

"No, we're not with her." They are also not about the "Go Blue No Matter Who" movement so don't even try to bring it up- especially on their Facebook page.

11. Reactions to the Melania Trump memes:

She did not plagiarize her speech. She would not, could not, on a boat. Thank you Melania, for all the social media opportunities.

12. Many people's feelings toward Sir Trump:

He is truly one of a kind, with a personality unlike any other.

13. Trump's philosophy:

Donald Trump and Michael Scott would definitely be bros. I would love to see those two in a room together.

14. When we can't seem to pick two more likable candidates to run our country:

You're right Michael, this really is. What ever happened to Vermin Supreme? Let's get him back in here.

15. When Bernie decided he's with her:

He's got your back Hillz, even if his fan squad does not. He wants to keep America with the D (Democrat, not Donald).

16. Hillary trying to play it cool when the Russian government hacks the DNC.

This again? She's blaming the Donald for this one and channeling her inner Shaggy, claiming "wasn't me".

17. When Bernie emphasizes his statements with his pointer finger:

For dramatic effect. The pointer finger really does have so much power.

18. America as a whole, regardless of the outcome:

Drum roll please. May the odds be ever in our favor.

So, as the election continues to progress, always know you can count on the Dunder Mifflin team to help us through these confusing times. Also remember to vote #MichaelScott2016.

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

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.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.
