The summer months are most college students' favorite time of year. School's out, the sun is shining, and you're ready for a new routine. While summer can feel like one long haze, the months that make it up have their own characteristics and that act as a timeline. And there's no one better to define this timeline than the characters of the Office.

May

Summer is finally here! School is out and everyone is back in town and ready to kick off summer. You are fresh off that finals grind and ready to let loose and enjoy the next few months of relaxation.

June

The summer is still young, but June is the time when things start to pick back up again. Maybe you have a job, internship, or are headed back to school for some classes. While this might not be the way you wanted to spend your summer, it can't hurt, right? Either way, its time to remember that summer isn't all fun and games, but about better developing yourself without having to worry about the stressors of the school year. Use this opportunity to be productive!

July

July is the midpoint of summer, and arguably the best summer month. The Fourth of July brings lots of fun and celebration to your routine and allows you to spend time with family and friends. Maybe you have a vacation planned, too. July is the month where you have finally settled into summer and feel good about it.

August

Before you know it, summer is practically over. Things are winding down, friends are started to head back to school, and you're ready to take on a new school year. It was fun while it lasted, but all good things must come to an end.
