So the end of the semester is creeping up and you're doing your best to not get on your hands and knees and crawl over the finish line. We all know the struggles of that end of the semester slump entails such as camping out in the library, having more caffeine than blood in your body, and adding the 10-minute nap you took in your car between classes to the total number of hours you've slept this week. Here are a few scenes from Parks and Rec to let you know you're not alone.
1. Your sanity is nonexistent.
To quote "Alice in Wonderland," "You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."
2. You can't remember the last time you were healthy.
Your white blood cell count is as low as your bank account balance.
3. You spend more hours in the library than you do in your bed.
You start getting the "I haven't seen you in 48 hours, are you ok?" texts.
4. Two days before your term paper is due:
Keep calm and just pick a topic that you can write about for 14 pages. It's easy, right?
5. You find every reason to procrastinate and forget about the due dates slowly creeping up.
You're probably scrolling through social media right now trying to ignore your assignments, it's ok I'm probably doing the same thing.
6. Your emotional instability is out of control.
If your emotional breakdowns are nearing double digits for the week, take a break and drive yourself to Wal-mart, a carton of ice cream is only $2.97.
7. Trying to convince yourself to workout is nearly impossible.
Does running out of time count as cardio?
8. You're irrationally mad when people are loud in the library.
9. You tell yourself you're going to pull an all-nighter but end up caving in.
You convince yourself that a 30-minute nap on the library floor will somehow actually make a difference.
10. You start becoming Ron Swanson at social gatherings.
I just hope you could relate to these scenes and laugh a little before realizing you've been procrastinating on social media for far longer than you anticipated. Trust me we are all crawling, you're not the only one, so hold on just a few more weeks and you can catch up on sleep and binge watch Parks and Rec.
