As the semester is coming into its final stretch, we all find ourselves slowly losing our minds due to the hours of cramming and last minute assignments while attempting to survive on gallons of coffee. I have been squeezing in Parks and Recreation episodes in the minutes of free time I manage to salvage so that I can keep some sanity during all of this chaos. I now present you with the end of the semester as told by the one, the only, Leslie Barbara Knope.

1. When you're getting yourself in the frame of mind to start knocking out assignments. It's go time and you've got this.

2. When you realize you should have started studying last week instead of procrastinating. Why are you the way that you are?

3. You run out of creamer and force yourself to drink a cup of black coffee. How do people drink this on a regular basis?

4. You have your first stress induced breakdown and ask your best friend for pep talks to make it through the week. She is a beautiful angel that keeps you sane.

5. You've been too busy studying and remember you're supposed to be packing to move home. Time flies when you're losing your mind looking at notes and textbooks.

6. When you're psyching yourself up before your test. You are a glorious female warrior who can slay this final.

7. You come to a question where you must choose the false answer but option D is "A,B, and C". How do they come up with this monstrous questions?!

8. You've made it half way through finals week but still have two tests to go. You feel like death but must march on.

9. When it's time to submit class evaluations and dish out your real feelings on your professors and their classes.

10. You apologize to your parents for how tightly strung you have been for the past couple of weeks. You can't be held responsible for the way that finals week turns you into a different person.

11. When grades start rolling in and you got the A's you struggled for. You can't help but revel in your awesomeness. After all of that hard work, you deserve a little self praise.

12. You have finished your last final, you have survived, and it is time to live it up! Woo hoo!

13. Now that school is over, it's time to plan your summer fun. It's gonna be bigger and better than ever. You deserve it you goddess you.

Finals week is around the corner and we're in that home stretch. It's like we have a week long seminar led by Jerry to suffer through. The horror! Just keep your heads up and remember that you are all beautiful angels that are capable of anything you set your minds to. Leslie Knope would believe in you and I do too.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
