Finals Week As Told by Parks and Rec

It is here.

We have been in college for a while now, and it is time for finals. This is a description of this time as told by Leslie and the gang from Parks and Rec.

You go in to this whole process feeling ready for the challenge. You have worked hard and it's time to show it.

Then... you hit the books. You read your bio book and then you come to a realization.

Just as your motivation is fading, your phone rings. Your friend wants to go out. You have pretty much never wanted anything more.

You're thinking that you have worked hard and have earned some time off.

No! Don't do it! Flip that tiny silencing switch on your phone, go to the library, and power through.

You will not give up that easy, and you are going to slay these exams!

If you need to, order delivery food. Make yourself content, otherwise your study session will end very soon.

Crank out those study guides, and even though you hate life a little bit, be proud of your perseverance.

After you leave your study spot, your brain will probably be feeling a little overwhelmed.

I would recommend taking a break at this point and going on a run or something of the sorts. This will clear your head and let out some post studying aggression.

Now it is time for exams. You have worked your butt off, but you are still very nervous. It couldn't hurt to be extra especially nice to your professors today.

You look at your exam and your mind goes blank. Refocus, maybe chew some gum.


You finish your exam and you walk out of your classroom like this.

That test just made you feel like you got run over by a truck. Or like Leslie falling into the pit.

Then there is that one kid who turns to you out in the hall and says "Wasn't that easy?". No. No it was not.


Do not forget that it is over now, though! No matter how it went, you survived.


IT IS WINTER BREAK TIME.

Take a load off, put your feet up, and go have fun.

Now you can finally start a new Netflix series!

Good luck on your finals and don't get discouraged. It will all work out if you put the work in!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up.
