You're exhausted from writing papers and taking finals (and staying out at the bar until 3 a.m.), the last thing you want to do during your three months off is spend all day inside working. Eventually it gets to the point that your parents threaten to stop feeding you unless you get a job, so you begrudgingly start the job hunt.

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.
