"The West Wing" gets new fans all the time even though it's been over for years. The circle of life (and witty banter) keeps revolving! Similarly, the intense work environment at college has its inaugural revival each August/September. For me, last week was the first week of classes, but whenever your first week is, you'll become a part of a collaborative space made stressful through mass confusion. What's another place where I see a turbulent work space? The West Wing. My argument has come full circle. Just a few GIFs from episodes of "The West Wing" will show you that the average college student isn't so different from the Press Secretary or the President of the United States.
