History
Season One
In the study group's first year at Greendale, Jeff and Britta got into a childish squabble with some teenagers attending the school. One of the things the high schoolers joked Britta about was her hipster mentality. In particular they mocked how she was a using an archaic portable CD player instead of an MP3 device. Following a final showdown Jeff and Britta had with the teens in the cafeteria a postscript revealed a bit of everyone's future. It was stated that in 2014 she would finally be a proud owner of her own used iPod Nano ("The Art of Discourse").

Season Five
Sometime after the study group graduated from Greendale, everyone but Pierce returned for another year at school. He had been banned from the campus due to a sexual harassment lawsuit and passed away not long after his friends re-enrolled. A man named Mr.Stone executed instructions in Pierce's will to subject his former study group to a polygraph test in order for them to receive their bequeathals. Once it was over, Britta was told by Mr. Stone that Pierce had always been inspired by her passion. She was then given an iPod Nano which he filled with songs he hoped would help her take life less seriously. She was genuinely touched by the thoughtfulness of his gift but less than pleased after receiving her other bequeathal ("Cooperative Polygraphy").

In their fifth year together, the remaining study group members had joined a special committee to "save" the school. They were responsible for greatly improving campus life and fixing a lot of Greendale's problems. A city inspector declared the school to have actual value because of their efforts and school board members Carl and Richie put the property up for sale. Greendale was sold to the highest bidder the Subway corporation. After a few weeks the campus was slowly transformed into a Subway Sandwich university. Depressed by the turn of events, Britta went to wallow inside what was left of the the study room. She sat down at the study table where she tried to cheer herself up by listening to the iPod Pierce gave her ("Basic Story").
