How Your Semester Went From 'I'm Gonna Work Until I'm 100' To 'Treat Yo' Self,' As Told By ‘Parks & Rec’

In This Article:

The beginning of the semester is always that special time where you have so much energy and so many good intentions. The end of the semester is always that special time where you get no sleep and live off of coffee.

Beginning: Working really hard every single day

Giphy

You are so on top of all of your work.

End: Calculating what you need on your final to pass the class

Giphy

Because it's the end of the semester and you are burned out.

Beginning: Having really awesome notes

Giphy

They are the best notes ever. Give yourself a pat on the back.

End: Your notes are just smudges

Giphy

And when you get to the test, well... you don't remember ever seeing anything.

Beginning: Getting so much sleep

Giphy

So much time for napping.

End: Five hours of sleep is now a full nights rest

Giphy

Sleep is for the weak.

Beginning: Always doing your work early

Giphy

And you never have to worry about two things. Only one.

End: Rewarding yourself constantly

Giphy

But hey at least your work gets done.

Beginning: Looking nice every day and getting to class 15 minutes early

Giphy

It takes a little while for you to get used to dressing up every day.

End: Rolling out of bed 10 minutes before class after a nap

Giphy

What day is it? What time is it?

Beginning: Diligently paying attention in lectures 

Giphy

You are so excited to learn so many cool things.

End: Texting your friends in class

Giphy

Honestly, you need lots of reassurances by the end of the year.

Beginning: Always being prepared early

Giphy

If you need help, you are able to ask like a week before you really need the help.

End: Cramming 

Giphy

You think you would have learned, but getting three hours of studying before the exam is fine, right?

Beginning: No TV until you finish your work

Giphy

Although let's be real, you really want to watch something.

End: Falling asleep as you Binge watch a show

Without ever having so much as one glance at your homework.

Beginning: You're happy to be back at school

Giphy

Let's GO!

End: Being extra in the holiday spirit

Giphy

Because of NO MORE SCHOOL!

Beginning: Being so motivated

Giphy

Because this semester is going to be amazing!

End: You feel like giving up

Giphy

But in the end, you realize that so many hours of work only accounts for just a small amount of production. Ben's claymation video was a lot shorter than he expected.

Just remember that you are always that much closer to graduating AND C's get degrees.

Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
