19 Things That Happen During Finals Week Told By 'Parks and Recreation'

Thought Catalog

Finals week is approaching. On the bright side, that means summer break is right around the corner. To get you through, here are our favorite Pawnee residents breaking down 19 things we all feel during the most dreaded week of the school year: finals week.

1. The weekend before finals week and you need to prepare for the s**t storm that is going to be your life for the next seven days.

2. When you start studying and realizing you need a miracle.

3. When the final is cumulative.

4. When you rage out at your subjects because you literally know nothing.

5. When you've been studying for ten straight minutes.

6. When you've been working for too long and your notes no longer make sense.

7. When the stress of finals week becomes too much.

8. When your ten-minute break turns into a two-hour nap, but you decide to get back to work.

9. When you decide to tackle studying for your hardest final.

10. So like the reasonable, resourceful pupil you are, you get a tutor. And they blow your damn mind.

11. Trying to keep your head up, knowing that instead of watching Netflix during the semester, you should've been studying.

12. Walking out of your easiest exam like.

13. Walking out of your toughest exam like.

14. Now comes teacher/course evaluations.

15. Waiting for your grades to be posted.

16. When you see grades are finally posted.

17. Are you sure you're ready to see them?

18. Of course, you did fine. You did great!

19. You made finals week your b***h.

I was going to sign off with some inspirational insight into how finals week isn't that bad and, in the end, your grades will be rockin' because you're rockin' but...

Go study.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
