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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
