Finals Week As Told by Parks and Rec

It is here.

We have been in college for a while now, and it is time for finals. This is a description of this time as told by Leslie and the gang from Parks and Rec.

You go in to this whole process feeling ready for the challenge. You have worked hard and it's time to show it.

Then... you hit the books. You read your bio book and then you come to a realization.

Just as your motivation is fading, your phone rings. Your friend wants to go out. You have pretty much never wanted anything more.

You're thinking that you have worked hard and have earned some time off.

No! Don't do it! Flip that tiny silencing switch on your phone, go to the library, and power through.

You will not give up that easy, and you are going to slay these exams!

If you need to, order delivery food. Make yourself content, otherwise your study session will end very soon.

Crank out those study guides, and even though you hate life a little bit, be proud of your perseverance.

After you leave your study spot, your brain will probably be feeling a little overwhelmed.

I would recommend taking a break at this point and going on a run or something of the sorts. This will clear your head and let out some post studying aggression.

Now it is time for exams. You have worked your butt off, but you are still very nervous. It couldn't hurt to be extra especially nice to your professors today.

You look at your exam and your mind goes blank. Refocus, maybe chew some gum.


You finish your exam and you walk out of your classroom like this.

That test just made you feel like you got run over by a truck. Or like Leslie falling into the pit.

Then there is that one kid who turns to you out in the hall and says "Wasn't that easy?". No. No it was not.


Do not forget that it is over now, though! No matter how it went, you survived.


IT IS WINTER BREAK TIME.

Take a load off, put your feet up, and go have fun.

Now you can finally start a new Netflix series!

Good luck on your finals and don't get discouraged. It will all work out if you put the work in!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

winter

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.
