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".

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
