Midterms, As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'

While March is a happy transition from the winter cold to the summer glory, it also is filled with extremely stressed out and overwhelmed students who are trying to complete all the papers and tests that are keeping them from enjoying a much needed break. Here's this period of hell as told by our friends at the Parks and Recreation department.

It all starts when your professor tells you you're going to have a midterm on the same day you have a Calculus test, and the same week a papers due.

That said, you try not to freak out and convince yourself you are motivated to get everything done

Then you try studying.

Yet, you still try to keep a positive attitude, as hard as it may be.

However, that act doesn't hold up for long, and you start to feel the pressure, all while trying to portray that you are still fine.

So you decide to enlist emotional help from your friends to get through it,

Even if they start to get sympathy stress from you.

You keep trying, but after so many hours in the library, you just accept the fact you don't get any of it.

But then, the night before the big midterm, you give yourself confidence (whether its false or not) that you are actually going to crush it.

And then your professor hands you the midterm.

Then you realize that you don't know what you were doing at the library for the past straight week, but it definitely wasn't studying.

But once the test is over, you quickly recover and decide that you probably did fine

That said, you actually really don't care about how you did, because now you can enjoy a much needed break.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
