As classes started again Monday, August 21st at the University of Florida. Students have returned from their summer residences and began a new semester. Whether you're a returning student or starting your first class at UF, here are 40 thoughts students have during the first week of classes.

1. I'm so not ready for this.

2. I can do an 8:30 AM class, I was up earlier than that in high school.

No. No you cannot.

3. Where is this class?

4. Turlington is actually a maze.

5. What is the latest time I can wake up in order to make it to class on time?

6. What do I do if I slept through the first class?

7. Crap I'm going to be late.

8. Do I actually need this textbook?

9. Should I buy this book at the book store?

The answer is always no.

10. Do I really need the optional books?

11. I know no one in this class...

12. Crap, my computer died and lecture has barely started!

Always bring a pen and paper just in case!

13. Do I really need to go to lecture if all of the assignments are in lab?

Yes!

15. Do I want to eat on campus or bring my own food?

Bring your own food.

16. There are lines as far as I can see at the Reitz and Hub.

17. Gym or library?

18. Student Rec has no open equipment and I don't have a way to get to Southwest Rec!

There's a great bus system that will take you to southwest for free with your GatorOne.

19. How is Library West ALREADY full?

20. People, people everywhere!

21. Could you walk faster, please?

22. Let's just bike through heavy pedestrian traffic why don't we?

Please stop.

25. It's 100,000 degrees outside.

26. Walk outside = sweat.

It rains every, single day.

28. There go all of the sorority rush girls.

29. When does fraternity rush start?

30. NO, I don't want your flyers.

31. Wow, the Plaza is finally done!

32. But now the North Lawn is under construction?

33. Should I read this syllabus?

34. I really should use my planner this semester.

35. Forget this.

36. Is SNAP actually running?

6:30 PM through 3 AM

37. It's a scam.

38. When is the first football game?

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

2250

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.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Told through Parks & Recreation GIFs

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

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.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
