The Weekend as Told by The Office
Fort Fuego

"8 am" is the equivalent of "hell" to a college student. The Monday through Friday grind of classes, library hours, practices, rehearsals, though all rewarding in their aspects, can really tire a person out. The abundance of emotions that one experiences in a non stop 5 day week are honestly too much for an article, and better suited to be analyzed by a therapist, or a Starbucks barista, whatever calls your wallets name. Instead, here is the weekend of a college student as described by The Office.


Friday:

That joyous moment when you've finished all classes for the week, coming out of the grind looking into the mirror a like..


But feeling that freedom and sweet relief like..




Saturday "Morning"

It's that wonderful day of the week where students all around the country wake up at 12 noon only to move their well rested ramen filled bodies to the comfort of a couch for cartoons and cold pizza, maybe even a bowl of lucky charms, perhaps a bottle of wine, who knows, anything can happen on a Saturday!




Saturday Evening

Never doubt the ability of young adult to find a way to somehow go bar hoping on $5.25.




Sunday Morning

You woke up outside? No problem. Don't know where your shoes are? Its okay. It is the lords (or whoever and whatever you follow) day after all, you can repent whatever your Saturday night was at church. Make sure to grab a gatorade.



Sunday Afternoon

Wait. Wasn't there a paper due Monday? Or was it a project? Oh no.. it's both.




Sunday Evening

Well you've gone through all the stages of grief


Denial:


Anger:


Bargaining:


Depression:



and finally...


Acceptance.


Its time to raise your white flag and accept the fact that Monday is soon approaching. No worries, Friday is only 5 days away.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
