It's finals week. It's the end of the year, we can't wait to go home and not use our brains for the next couple of weeks/months. But between the huge amount of studying that we do, we do other weird things that we can't really explain. We do them with the simple excuse that "it's finals week." Here are 13 things that we do during finals week through the eyes of "Parks and Rec."
1. When you have to decide which final is more important. It's better to get an A and C rather than two C's right? RIGHT?
2. When you know you have all of your finals within a week, but you have no idea where to start. Or what to do. Or who you even are anymore.
3. When you still have 100 words to go on a final paper... and then another entire paper to go. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
4. When you have that one friend who tries to remind you of everything you have to do in the next week so you must avoid them at all costs.
5. When you think you know what you are talking about but then you somehow relate it to pizza. Maybe you should reread the chapter.
6. When you need to be reminded that crying is not going to get you an A.
7. When you're trying to stay cool, calm and collected right before a final.
8. Then you actually start looking at the exam and you look around at your peers for some moral support.
9. The dreaded final exam is finally over but you still have a few more.
10. But then eventually you realize you are finally free.
11. Then there comes a time for the much deserved celebrations.
12. Then at some point you end up here, but you deserve it, right? It's finals week, we know.
13. But the most important thing to do post finals week is:
Moral of the story, finals week is one of the worst in all of the land. Its only rival is mid-term week. We are tired, we are cranky, we need a nap and preferably an entire extra cheese pizza completely to ourselves (even though our bodies are saying "nooooooo"). We just want to go home and go into hibernation for about two months, but unfortunately we do not get to do that until we are on the last leg.
Remember, finals week is a marathon not a sprint. So if you are still struggling with post finals week stress, make sure you treat yo self. If you're like every other college student odds are you have about $.46 (+ or - a dollar) in your checking account; so what I'm really saying is take a nap. Take a really really long nap.
