14 Phases Of Finals Week Told By Leslie Knope

Although some schools are already out, many high schools and colleges are just about to head into finals week. Oh, the horror, the projects, the tears! So many conflicting thoughts you have during this week in which I think Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation can relate to as well! So procrastinate just a little more, and let Leslie Knope relate to you through this stressful time.

1. When professors assign more work right before finals

My thoughts exactly. Why do we need more papers and projects assigned to us when in just two days I will be taking the biggest test to determine my grade?

2. Reviewing the study guide and notes

Did we even talk about this stuff in class? I don't think so!

3. Stress eating

Well since I have so much work to do and I want to cry my eyes out, I'll eat some food because food ALWAYS understands.

4. Finding little things to distract you while you study

Any little thing around me while I try to study suddenly becomes my main focus.

5. When you're so tired and stressed you just cry

It's okay to cry! You've had a long few weeks so get all those tears out!

6. Finally feeling a little confident

You've studied this material for so long you should feel better about it!

7. Waking up the next day after giving up and going to bed

For some, it's two hours of sleep because they stayed up so late studying. Remember you test better on a good night sleep so call it in earlier than you usually would!

8. Walking into class asking other people how they feel

"Are you ready? No? Cool me too we'll fail together!"

9. Seeing the first question and you have no idea what it is

This wasn't on the study guide or any of the notes!

10. When the professor says you can't use your notes

How am I supposed to remember everything if I don't have my notes or book?

11. Thoughts during the test about your professor

I know this is in the heat of the moment, but Professor, why?

12. When you hand in your last final of the semester

You made it out alive even though you definitely feel like you went through a battle.

13. When you get your grades back and you passed

All good grades so all that studying was worth it!

14. Finally going on vacation and relaxing

Time for vacation, family, and friends! All that hard work paid off, now it's time to relax!

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?
