14 'Parks and Rec' Moments That Describe Your Post-Finals Thoughts

Ytimg

Stress. Exhaustion. Studying overload. 3-5 hours of sleep a night (if you’re lucky).

Does this sum up your finals week? I know it sums up mine for sure. When you’re so close to the holidays yet so far, the last stretch — just one week — feels like it’ll last a lifetime. I still don’t know how we made it through but now that it’s over, these are my post-finals thoughts on life:

1. "I'm dead." - Chris Traeger, my one true love.

That hysterical smile though.

2. "Treat. Yo. Self." - Donna Meagle

My mantra as I take a bubble bath everyday for the next month.

3. "Everything hurts and I'm dying." - The one and only, Leslie Knope

After accidentally falling asleep upright on a library couch for 2+ hours, this quote is my life.

4. "Ugh." - April Ludgate

Same, April, same. In the meantime, enjoy this very rare image of April with a non-murderous expression on her face.

5. "I don't care." - Ben Wyatt

Everyone wants to know how my finals went, if I think I passed, if I got an A in the class. This is my response.

6. "Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot." - Tom Haverford

And by "ball a lot" I mean get a degree so I can get a job so I can pay off my debt.

7. "And it's you season." - Donna

Self-care is no longer a question after what we've been through.

8. "Oh boy, I am blessed." - Jerry Gergich

When you turn in that last final ...

9. "It's a Christmas miracle." - April

When you think you may have actually done decent on that physics final ...

10. "It's just that life is pointless and nothing matters and I'm always tired." - Andy Dwyer

The night before finals week began, I look out the window and said these very same words.

11. "I guess this is it. Bye!" - Jerry

It's pretty hard to say bye to your professors after finals but let's be honest, you're not all that sad, right?

12. "This is the hardest I've worked on anything since..." - Tom

Since never. Enough said.

13. "I may never smile again." - Chris

Is it even possible to smile after this much torture?

14. "I just slept seven hours, which is twice as long as I usually sleep, so I'm a little disoriented." - Leslie

Accurate - especially around 4-ish in the morning when you feel like you're going to pass out. You know who you are.

15. No quote or caption necessary.

Aaannddd this is why we love Andy.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

The State University of New York at Stony Brook

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

Photo by Rey Seven on Unsplash

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
