BREAKING: CITY COLLEGE ANNOUNCES INDEFINITE SPRING BREAK

In a surprise announcement, City College stated that they will be extending spring break indefinitely due to low funds.

“The new construction has really taken it out of us, monetarily speaking,” said nobody in a press conference. “So we can’t, for example, pay the teachers, or maintain the buildings, or hire more janitors, but it’s not like we were doing a lot of that already anyway.”

Hopefully students will understand that this was unavoidable, and will return to City College when or if it reopens. Happy April fools!
