College Finals Told By Leslie Knope

It's impossible to stay sane during this week.

College Finals Told By Leslie Knope

It's that time of year again. It only comes twice every calendar year. The week that every college student dreads -- finals. It is nearly impossible for a student to say sane during finals week, no matter how hard you worked during the semester. Students walk around like zombies, their blood full of coffee, hair a mess, and zero cares as to how they look. There is no one better to sum up the feelings we all have during finals, than Leslie Knope herself.


Studying looks a lot like this.

Trying to plan and get all your thoughts together in one general area while studying is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do.


You try to teach yourself last minute concepts that made no sense during the semester.

There are always those parts of the semester that made no sense and finals week seems to be the best time to teach yourself -- or so you think.


You've stared at the computer and 400-page textbook so long that you say this great Leslie Knope quote.

Your head is throbbing, you're hungry, your legs are cramping from sitting too long, and everything else seems to be wrong as well.


The only way to keep yourself from going off of the deep end is by dancing with your friends.

Let's be honest, when the lack of sleep kicks in, dancing in public is not embarrassing because you know it's good for your health at this point.


Halfway through the week you crash and get a lot of sleep.

Your body cannot take one more sleepless night, so you fall asleep for a long time -- which is only seven hours.


You're so stressed all week that someone asks you a simple question and you lose it.

There is an extreme amount of things running through your head that the thought of one more little question will send you into crazy mode.


You actually look like a complete wreck by your last final.

But you don't care.


Once finals week is over, you feel exactly like this.

You've made it through one of the worst weeks of college, and you made it out alive!

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
