17 Thoughts You Have While Working Over Spring Break, As Told by "The Office"
Huffington Post

Not all of us college students get to go on lavish spring break trips. Instead, we have to spend our break waking up just as early as we had to for class and go through the daily grind--just like the people at Dunder Mifflin. In fact, the cast of "The Office" describes working over spring break pretty well.

1. Michael knows the reason you have to work over break in the first place...


2. You start off with a good attitude...mostly...

3. But then you see that first Instagram beach picture, and it all goes downhill.

4. It's like they're targeting you.

5. You begin to get restless at your job.

6. And your bitterness causes you to slack off a bit.

7. Every customer begins to get on your nerves.

8. You imagine yourself in a happier place with your friends.

9. But you're not.

10. You start to think how your college friends will remember you.

11. You have to pretend you're happy. They're all having fun without you.

12. But inside you're weeping.

13. And you start to question why you're even saving money in the first place.

14. But then the pictures start getting sketchier...

15. And you try to counsel your friends from afar.

16. You're suddenly glad you're saving your money and chilling at home.

17. But you're still happy (and only slightly resentful) when they get back.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
