Heading Into Your Final Semester Of College, As Told By 'Saved By The Bell'

NBC Productions

You are one semester away from graduating. Entering the real world, getting a real job and starting your real life. Though the best seasons of "Saved by the Bell" feature high school antics, they still somehow have the perfect reaction to realizing you're going into your final college semester.

When the email comes through saying you're approved for graduation

And all your friends get it too

Rewarding yourself for 7+ semesters of hard work

Not taking any sh*t from guys at the bars anymore, or even wanting their attention

Cleaning up your social media for potential employers

Coming back from a job interview that you thought went well but from experience you know you'll probably never hear back

Enjoying your last few months of not having to pay for your gym membership

Seeing freshmen dressing up and going out 3 times a weekend and neglecting their studies

Having a few too many girls' nights

Fixing your hair to go to the bar wearing Moccasins and a dirty sweatshirt

But dancing the night away with your friends and not caring one bit what anyone thinks

Jotting down every professional's email at the job fair

Seeing your dream job posted and then seeing it requires 17 years of experience

Endorsing your friends on LinkedIn for proficiency in Microsoft Office

Networking literally everywhere you go so SOMEBODY will be so kind as to offer you a job

Planning your final college spring break

Listening to those unrelated, have-to-take-you-to-graduate-class professors lecture

Hearing underclassmen complain about the campus food that you'd give anything to eat

Seeing new people coming in and taking over your organizations executive teams

Trying to be a different and more professional person on every copy of your resume

Watching Facebook looking for that first "I got the job!" post so you can officially start worrying

When you pass your freshman dorm and realize how quickly time has passed

But then everyone starts talking about all the "lasts" this semester will bring

And even though you're going to miss the hell out of this place and these people...

...You're prepared and excited for what's to come next

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.
