The single worst week of the semester for every college student is upon us, and everyone's anxiety is through the roof, as usual. An expert at crying for help while also pretending to be okay, Chris Traeger of Parks and Recreation walks us through what finals week is really like for all of us.

1. When someone asks you what your game plan is for the week

Unless crying counts counts as a game plan. Because you're gonna be doing that a lot.

2. Thinking about all of the studying you need to do while not actually studying at all

Honestly, you're just way too stressed to look over your notes and that's just adding to the stress.

3. Studying in the library instead of your room because:

And you're pretty much done for once that happens tbh.

4. Giving out advice to others on how to stay sane

No, really, fifteen.

5. Giving yourself a night off to hang out with friends but you can't stop thinking about finals

#ConcealDon'tFeel

6. Coming out of your first exam like

Good thing you have three more exams to take.

7. Having two finals in one day

What kind of fresh hell is this?

8. What you want to tell your professor when you leave the exam room

But you want a good grade so you just smile and tell them to have a great summer.

9. How you feel at the end of each day

And you don't have to take any more exams if you're dead, right?

10. How your roommate finds you after a night of studying

Just walk it off.

11. When your last final is over and you can go home and sleep well for the first time in a week

FINALLY

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
