Finals Week As Told By "Parks And Recreation"
Media Cache

All right. We all hate to admit it but unfortunately it is the most dreaded time of the year: finals week.

Finals week is a time to freak out, cry, eat too much, and somehow manage to stay alive. For anyone who watches "Parks and Recreation," we all know our favorite characters can have their fair share of freak outs, too. Even though they're not taking finals, they understand us and we understand them. Again, what a time to be alive. Here are a couple of reasons why college students can easily relate to the many adventures on "Parks and Recreation."

The moment when you realize finals week is actually a thing.

Wait, seriously? It was always that kind of thing I was just seriously avoiding and pretended was just a myth.

When that smart kid in your class talks about how easy the test will be.

All right Jimmy, we get it.

When someone asks you how you're gonna study for the exam.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

When the teacher says, "This is not something you can start last minute."

Okay, challenge accepted.

When your friend asks you to work out to "relieve stress."


Why would you say something like that?

Watching Netflix instead of studying.


I'm not even sorry.

When you finally realize it's time to turn off Netflix and open the book.

Good times don't always last, I guess.

When you're reading and you realize you might actually understand the material.


Hey! Look at me. I'm awesome.

Then you realize you actually don't know anything.

It's okay. I'm still awesome.

Eating instead of studying.

Crying instead of studying.

Looking at pictures of cute puppies instead of studying.

Dogs do not disappoint me like chemistry does.

Wanting to be anywhere, absolutely anywhere, besides studying for finals.

I literally mean anywhere.

Doing anything besides studying.

Studying.


So, no matter how you slice it, finals week is a tough one for every college kid out there. As the great April Ludgate once said, "Being a responsible adult sucks butts."

Stay safe out there, kids. There's light at the end of this very, very, very dark tunnel. Eat a slice of pizza for me and study hard.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
