How To Handle Finals: Advice From 'Parks and Recreation'
Tumblr

It's that time of year again: the hopeless and dreaded finals week. The only week where it is acceptable to cry in the middle of the library after getting little to no sleep in the library, being completely MIA from everyone and everything around you to the point that people think you are actually missing, and to take a nap at 10pm just so you can wake up in a couple of hours to finish studying, aka #teamnosleep. Coffee will be your best friend and sleep will be irrelevant, but help is on the way.

"Parks and Recreation" is here to save the day as they give you not only tips on how to survive finals, but even life's toughest problems:

Finals makes you feel like this...

Okay you get the picture...But at least you are better off than Rebecca...


You can always call in some back up for help:

How to stay as positive as possible according to Chris Traeger:

Even when you are on the brink of giving up:

Trying to get out of something... by any means possible:

How to make someone's day instantly:

How to show no weakness:

*Coffee, and yes, we will be needing this much:

How to help spice up your paper just a little bit:

Sticking to your diet because you know you have no time to go to the gym whatsoever this week:

Donna's motto in life holds true during finals:

So take a break and have just a little bit of fun for yourself:

Realizing you can't run away from your problems:

...But you try to anyway...

Or you could just deal with the pain and just let it happen:

How to make yourself feel better going into your finals:

How you should look at your mess of a life and how to accept it: ("No Ragrets," am I right?)

How to respond to someone judging you when you haven't started studying:

Literally, the answer to all of your problems:

And you may not have it all together...

...But believing in yourself is key:

The internet always knows how to fix everything!

How to let everyone know that you are doing just fine... It's only finals, right?

Running out of coffee when it was your only hope...

...But just remember to always have as much enthusiasm as Ron Swanson:

...And Andy Dywer:

Luckily, if all else fails, Andy has your back (especially with Karate):


Pizza is the answer to everything:

When you are feeling alone, just remember...

How to make yourself feel just a little bit better on the inside:

What a good friend would do to help you get through the week:

How to walk into your finals:

When you really are not in the mood to talk to anyone:

And after, you know there is one thing that will always have your back:

Just kidding! Listen to Ron's advice instead:

And even though this may have been you...



You know that everything will be fine in the end:



If you can take on life like "Parks and Rec" can, then you truly can do anything.

Bring it on, finals!

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
