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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.

10 Things About Finals Week

As told by "Parks and Recreation" GIFs.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

A few signs that you may live in the library whether you'd like to admit it or not.

1. You dress for the temperature of the library, not the weather outside.

2. You say hello to the security guard when he or she walks by.

3. The employees at Starbucks know your name and order.

4. You eat all your meals at a library cubby, not at your own house.

5. You take the quiet floors very seriously.

6. Any night you are not at the library is a special occasion.

7. You have shown up to the library hungover on more than one occasion.

8. Your friends always text you when they are going to the library because they know you will be there.

9. You have taken a nap in the library at some point.

10. You know all the cold and hot spots in the library.

11. You've seen your studying pay off.

As told by "Parks and Recreation" GIFs.

There's a little bit of Pawnee in us all.

1. When someone asks you why you're so sensitive and you start crying, because you have a big heart and cry at everything.

2. But when you're past the point of being over-sensitive and are just irritated and people try to talk to you:

3. But sometimes you just have to cry, even if it's over the fact that you saw a cute puppy and might not ever see it again

4. And while you're crying you decide to eat a bunch of food because, well, I'll let Ron take this one:

5. When someone lectures you on how their new diet is great and how you should definitely try it:

6. When you want to go to a party but you have to get up at 6AM the next morning for work:

7. But at the same time you haven't had some fun in a while... so, you decide to go because you definitely deserve it.

8. When a cute guy you've been crushing on makes the first move:

9. But when he doesn't text or call you the next day, you decide life sucks

10. But then you remember the Meagle motto:

11. And so you put on your hottest outfit and strut your stuff. Because you're a strong independent woman who don't need no man

12. When someone asks you what you're going to do with your life:

13. But hey, no worries. Leslie figured it out, and you always have this option:

14. And at the end of it all, the only thing that's going to matter is the fact that you...

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

Leslie gets it.

Your professor mentions there's a test in a few days and you didn't know about it.

You spend all day long in class and now realize you also have to spend the next few nights awake studying.

You take out your textbook and notes, but don't have the energy to actually read them.

You keep reading the same sentence over and over, but it still doesn't make sense.

You can’t focus, and your roommate suggests you go to the library.

You realize there are still over 50 pages left to read.

You reach the two-hour mark of studying and get delirious and want to give up.

You take a Netflix and snack break.

Your friends told you they were staying in with you to study, but they end up going out.

Your friends ask why you need to study instead of having fun.

Your friends send you pictures of them out having fun, but you're stuck in the library and want to run away.

You walk out of the test and realize staying in and studying was worth it because you definitely aced it.
