Finals Week As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'

Most of us college students are about to embark on the miserable journey that is finals week. Sure, people warned us when they said it was going to be rough, but nothing could prepare us for the week of (and really, the week before) final exams. Man, I wish I could go back to having high school exams. But you don't know what you've got until it's gone, right? As we prepare to enter an incredibly stressful last few days, remember to treat yo self and enjoy some laughs with the help of Pawnee's best.

One week before finals.

It's far enough away that procrastination is still justifiable, right?

...who am I kidding, I'll be procrastinating for at least another six days. It'll be fine. I'm invincible.

The weekend before finals.

As your finals become closer, anxiety begins to set in...

But you know what? There's still time! We'll just pull an all nighter the day before!

The night before the test.

While motivation and confidence may be high at first...

...it'll begin to taper off pretty rapidly.

As a result, pep talks and encouragement become vital.

So much so that you may need to pick yourself up every once in a while

By the wee hours of the morning, you'll likely be losing your mind a bit.

Holy crap the test is in a few hours!

The morning of the test.

At this point, who knows how long you've been awake?

But good thing confidence is at an all time high!

Ehh, it'll be over soon enough.

During the test.

You'll feel a tad bit overwhelmed when you first get the final in front of you.

Your professor will likely throw some trick questions in there (good luck figuring them out).

You better pray there's no essay portion of the exam because after your all nighter, you may be just a smidge delirious.

And let's sure hope there's no minimum word count...

After the test.

You'll likely need a time out immediately after your exams.

But it's okay because you did it! You made it out barely alive! Now time to enjoy the next four months without class and homework!

But why do I have to leave all my friends now? Please don't make me leave them.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
