The End Of The Semester As Told By Ron Swanson
Bustle

Time has gone by super fast like usual, and finals are sneaking up right behind us. The end of the semester is approaching, and the procrastination that has been building up all semester is finally screwing people over. College students everywhere are preparing themselves for sleepless nights, drinking gallons of caffeine, cramming nonstop until their eyes hurt, and stress. A crap ton of stress. With only a week or two left of the semester it's perfectly normal to be drowning in school work like that ten-page paper that you haven't even started, but is due on Tuesday. Everyone's been there once or twice, I know I certainly have, but you'll catch yourself drinking your fourth coffee at 3 AM in the library studying until you physically can't anymore and wonder if it's all worth it more than once. The end of the semester sucks. It's hard, and stressful, so here is the end of the semester as told by Ron Swanson.

When your teacher decides to do last minute paper:

When your friends try talking you into going out with them, but you can't because you need to study...

but they talk you into it, and you avoid all of your responsibilities like:

So you go to class the next day and your teacher reminds you of what's due within the next few days:

At this point your sleep schedule is non-existent, and every time your eyes close you have to push through it:

Literally, every bad thing you think could happen is happening like your computer being slow:

And the people from your group project keep asking you if you can help them with their part of it:

When your teacher asks you to turn in your last paper, but you didn't want to do it:

When the girl behind you won't stop bragging about her being so prepared for finals....

but the guy next to you wants to borrow your notes:

When you only have two days to complete everything....

so you rush through all of your projects and fluff them as much as possible:

At this point all you've been doing is school work and stress eating:

When you walk into the final feeling pretty confident about it....

but you actually take it and have this reaction:

When the post final regret kicks in, and you give yourself life advice:

But you don't really care because this means it's the start of the break:

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?

sisters

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.

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!)
