The End Of The Semester As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'

The End Of The Semester As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'

The last month of college can be one of the most stressful of the year. Between research papers and multiple exams, college can make you want to pull out your hair. One of my personal favorite TV shows describes perfectly what it is like to go through the last month of college.

1. All you want to do is nap.

You are basically asleep more than you are awake, and you have the ability to nap anywhere. You have even wondered if you could change your major to napping and make a living off of it.

2. Studying is super hard when you are already checked out for the year.


By the time finals roll around, you're ready to be sitting on the beach getting your tan on with your friends. The last thing that you want to be doing is studying in the library.

3. Your brain turns into mush.


You start forming sentences that make no sense, to you or anyone else. You realize it's probably best not to talk for the week. Talking is hard when your brain is mush.

4. Failing is not an option.


By now you have calculated the grade you have to earn on the final for each class and how much time you can dedicate to studying for all five classes. You're stressed to the max and pulling all nighters to get that passing grade.

5. Caffeine.


You run out of your meal plan early because of spending excess amounts on coffee so you can live past those all nighters. In the days leading up to finals, you can find me with a venti mocha with an extra shot of espresso in my hand.

6. Running out of your meal plan makes you resort to scavenging for free food.


The moment you hear the words "free food" come from someone's mouth you jump at the chance. From scouring emails and Facebook posts to texting all of your friends begging for food, getting free meals is a lot of work.

7. You wish you could go back in time.

You start to regret that time when you watched six hours of Netflix instead of writing that seven page paper on differences in poetry due in a week. If only you had a few extra days, everything would be okay.

8. In the end you know it will all be worth it.


Although the end of the semester is rough for everyone, it can really show you what your priorities in life are. Most everyone has a certain goal that they aspire to reach in life, and will do anything to achieve it. Going through college is just one step closer to your goal. If you really want to succeed in college, you will. Like Johnny Karate said, "Anything is possible if you follow your dreams."

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
