Summer is the time for family, and vacations. But sometimes you still have to go to work. But if you're like me, you know that you can count on your impending vacation to get you through your last shift.

1. Can I just leave?

Giphy

I just got here...but I'd so rather be on vacation.

2. Is it time to leave yet?

Giphy

No? Oh...okay. I'll check again in five minutes.

3. I've been here FORVER!

lh3.ggpht.com

I could literally die here.

4. Oh wait, it's only been 5 minutes.

Giphy

Why do I keep doing this to myself?

5. Maybe I'll just glance at the clock...

It has to be closer to time to leave, right?

6. Nope. It's still 5:05.

Giphy

Slowest... Shift... Ever...

7. Only.... three hours and 55 minutes till vacation!

Giphy

Count down powers activate!

8. If the power goes out right now I can leave, right?

Giphy

Snip snip!

9. Maybe they'll send me home early!

Giphy

One can hope.

10. Can I non-fatally injure myself and leave?

Giphy

Hmm... Maybe not.

11. What time is it now?

Maybe it'll be time to leave! I'll check.

12. Only three hours and 50 minutes till vacation!

Giphy

We're doing great guys.

13. Do I have a good playlist ready?

Giphy

It's very important to jam on the trip. More important than this shift probably.

14. Did I pack everything I need?

Giphy

Did I bring the cute sweater I bought from Target? Did I pack enough towels? What about makeup?

15. I'll just repack once I get home...

Giphy

Better safe than sorry!

16. Okay... Maybe I should pay attention to my work now?

We'll see what happens?

17. I can't wait to leave..

Giphy

I just wanna go.

18. Maybe it's time to go now!

Giphy

I'll go check!

19. Nope.

It's been 20 minutes. Why is time stopped??

20. Can't I just go already?

I mean... Am I really necessary?

21. I want to go spend time not here...

Like, please? Send me home.

22. My vacation is gonna be so nice...

Giphy

I can see it now.

23. I can't wait to relax!

Giphy

I runaround here like a chicken with my head cut off half the time, so it'll be great to not do that for a day or two.

24. I hope this place burns down while I'm gone...

Giphy

I mean... I'd get an extended vacation! It's gonna be great.

25. #PermanantVacation?

I could quit and then I'd be stress free for at least two weeks... But money is nice... Maybe I shouldn't quit.

26. If someone dies right now, we could close.

Giphy

Who wants to take one for the team??

27. Who wants to try me, I'll do it for my vacation.

Giphy

#WorthIt

28. I'm SO gonna miss dealing with customers.

Giphy

Not!

29. Can I just get paid to stay away from here?

Dreams can come true sometimes, right?

30. It's time to GO!

Giphy

Time to leave! Vacation is here! No more work talk, I will block your numbers.

Work is a necessary part of life. But vacations are also necessary. Don't forget to relax sometimes.

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.

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.
