Unfortunately, not all of us have the superhuman work ethic of Leslie Knope.

It's that crazy time of the (school) year. Everyone has made lasting fun memories during the spring break and have returned back to the campuses fully tanned and not well-rested. Unfortunately, the happy bubble of vacations and sleeping until noon is popped by the next few weeks that will eventually end in finals.

So, with the help of some Parks and Recs gifs, here are the 8 stages of prepping for Finals Week

1. Relaxation based on delusions.

It's easy to tell yourself you still have five more weeks until you actually have to start worrying about exams but before you know it, those weeks can quickly turn into four, then three until the next thing you know it's a week away from Finals and you have gotten nothing done. But don't fret, everyone's been there which means you can easily rely on friends to help with last minute cramming.

2. Having no motivation to study.

Unfortunately, people don't seem to understand that you can physically be unable to have motivation to study and so they just say you're being lazy. It's a real thing people!

3. Going to tutoring...

4. ...Even though you know you don't process anything.

5. Failing at group studying because someone is always goofing off.

Sometimes you're Chris and sometimes you're Andy. Whichever one you are, don't forget that it is possible to have fun in group study sessions, as long as you remember to keep each other focused and on task.

6. Having a panic attack during the exam...

7. ...Then just not caring after the exam.

At this point, stress is a waste of energy and time. Once the test is turned in, that's it. Worrying won't change your answers so don't even bother.

8. Living life afterwards.

However your exams go this final season, just remember a paper test does not define you as a person. College (and just school in general) is really freaking hard, and you should be proud you've made it this far. So keep doing you and just remember that your hard work will pay off with a fun future!

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.

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.
