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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
