20 Times "Parks and Recreation" Perfectly Describes College Students

"Parks and Recreation" is a show for everyone. Especially college students. Countless times, I've heard the theme song playing every 20 minutes or so through the thin walls of my dorm room. There's just something about this show that college students can relate to and before they realize it, they are sucked in. Here are just a small selection of times "Parks and Rec" accurately described college students.

1. When family asks us what have been up to.

...and binging random tv shows on Netflix to avoid my adult responsibilities.

2. When Thursday night finally rolls around.

3. Trying to get through finals week like:

4. Brushing off your irritating co-workers.

5. When your Spring Break begins.

FINALLY.

6. When you get on social media the day after going out.

And seeing all the pictures you posted while being drunk.

7. When freshmen think they rule the campus.

8. When your professor makes class "optional."

Translation: no class. *goes back to sleep*

9. Seeing the first question on an exam.

"Excuse me, Professor, but I don't remember learning this."

10. When you have to give a speech.

Pizza's always the answer.

11. When your motivation wants to play hide and seek.

Only your motivation hid really well....

12. When you start to catch the feels for your FWB.

13. Bring the food, and we will come.

14. College has made you realize you're actually anti-social.

Please don't bother me.

15. Trying to tell your crush you ~like like~ them.

16. When that one kid reminds the professor about the homework that's due.

17. When all your professors hit you with all these assignments at once.

18. When your professor assigns a group project.

Of course it would be in the class you don't have with any of your friends.

19. When you want to get healthy.

20. But when you get to graduation day.

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.
