Spring Semester As Told By Parks And Recreation
Variety

Spring semester is a rough time for college students. The weather is nicer. The snow is all gone. Summer is peaking around the corner. All of this can really hit your motivation and bring it to an all time low. You start to burn out from working so hard all year long, and you just want school to end.... too bad you still have 5 weeks left. All aboard the struggle bus, and please try not to get motion sickness. At least we have the cast of "Parks and Recreation" to relate to.

Counting how many days of school are left...


When you interview for that summer internship and they ask what you do outside of school


Imagining summer


Checking your grades


Trying to get in shape for summer that's only a few weeks away


Giving up on the dining center after eating there for 8 months


You can't wait for Friday and Saturday so you can let loose


Going to class after you missed a day


Whoops you cheated on your diet again..


Beginning to study for finals


Write a 10 page paper, do a group project, come into office hours, attend study group, and take this exam... oh and do it by tomorrow.


When you're asked why you didn't do your homework or attend that study group session..


Debating skipping class to sit on the grass in the quad


When your mom asks if you were studying last night..

..


Lecture starts to feel like this..



Trying to make your way through your essays like..



When your counselor asks what you are registering for in the fall



When the stress hits and even the best of us have a breakdown



But you know what? At the end of the day, it will all be okay. You will make it through and soon enough you'll be laying on the beach overdosing on Vitamin D. Push through these last few weeks of spring semester. Now bring it in and let's hug it out with the cast of "Parks and Recreation".

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
