Preparing for Finals Week As Told By Parks and Rec

The weeks preceding finals week has to be one of the most stressful times for us college kids. So much of our grade depends on how well we perform on our final exams and final essays. Hours are spent in the library studying and perfecting final essays that are due.

In order to ease some of your stress, here are 14 moments Parks and Rec relates to what you're feeling preparing for finals week:


1. The lack of sleep you get trying to cram in more study sessions


2. When you and your friends give each other pep talks before exams


3. When you realize you forgot to eat dinner but the dining hall is closed


4. When you're in denial about how much you're study methods actually work


5. When you convince yourself that you deserve a reward after 5 minutes of studying

6. When you're just really stressed and someone asks if you're okay



7. When your mom asks how college is going, and you have to sound enthusiastic about all the studying you're doing


8. Asking your friends to reassure you that you will do well on your finals


9. When your professor announces that the exam won't be multiple choice


10. You're diet now consists only of "comfort foods"


11. When your classmate asks if you understood last week's lecture


12. "Are you ready for the exam?"


13. When you decide to take a quick 30 minute nap and wake up 5 hours later


14. And finally, the only failures that any of you will experience during finals week. Good luck!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
