Finals Week As Told By "Parks And Recreation" Characters

It's finals week. Excuse me for a second while I go cry in the corner.

Obviously, some of us have more to do during finals week than others. Some of us have exams every day. Some of us have a million papers to do and no exams. Then, there're those lucky few that have only one or two exams and no papers. No matter your situation, you know what it's like to be swamped and stressed with a slight addiction to coffee and an insane amount of sleep deprivation. After all, finals week somehow always has a way of sneaking up on you.

When you get back from Thanksgiving break and realize that finals are just a few weeks away:


Finals week begins and you can't help but think that your life is ending:


Then you realize that after a semester of slacking off, not reading the texts, and procrastinating, you actually have to do work:



You have so many things to study for and papers to write that you have no idea where to start or what's important or even who you are anymore:


Papers during finals week become a game of "how much crap can I fill this with before my professor notices that I have no idea what I'm talking about":

Eventually, your hand starts to hurt from writing so much, and your head starts to hurt from all the information learned in such a short amount of time:



There's no time to worry about healthy eating, so pizza becomes your life force:



So when someone offers you real food, you get really excited:



Eventually, you realize that you underestimated finals week and you're slowly falling apart:



When finals week is over, all you want to do is celebrate the fact that you're still alive:



Then your final grades come out:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
