The Pain Of Finals Week: April Ludgate Edition

The only time to embrace your inner April.

The Pain Of Finals Week: April Ludgate Edition
Parks & Recreation

The most dreadful time of year has approached us. It's finals week. An entire week of stress, hunger, sleep deprivation and emotional hell. It's also a perfect time to release our inner April Ludgate, the most negative, anti-social but amazing character from "Parks and Recreation." You'll definitely find yourself feeling just like April when some of these events occur during this excruciating week.

1. When someone tries to come in your room while you're finally studying.

Of course this is the time people want to be social with me! When I actually want to be productive!

2. When you've been studying in your room long enough that you don't realize the sun went down.

Hours studying alone in your room with headphones on goes by quicker than you think.

3. When someone walks by you in the library and you pretend to not be procrastinating.

Nope, I haven't been sitting here for two hours doing nothing while my paper writes itself.

4. When you fall asleep doing homework but don't want to inject another coffee.

It's so hard to manage your sleep schedule during finals week but you want to prove yourself that you're stronger than caffeine.

5. When you take over the group project for yourself so you don't fail because of your partners.

You basically do the entire project and perfect what everyone else needs to do. If only you didn't have to put their names on it.

6. When people ask you what you've been doing in between studying.

Study. Sleep. Repeat.

7. When someone tells you that you can make it through the week, but you've lost all hope.

I can't do five more hours of studying! Stop telling me I can!

8. When you realize you have to go through this stress for three more years.

Finals week is really the only thing to complain about being a college student, so three more years of hell weeks shouldn't be that bad.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
