Preparing for Finals Week As Told By Parks and Rec

The weeks preceding finals week has to be one of the most stressful times for us college kids. So much of our grade depends on how well we perform on our final exams and final essays. Hours are spent in the library studying and perfecting final essays that are due.

In order to ease some of your stress, here are 14 moments Parks and Rec relates to what you're feeling preparing for finals week:


1. The lack of sleep you get trying to cram in more study sessions


2. When you and your friends give each other pep talks before exams


3. When you realize you forgot to eat dinner but the dining hall is closed


4. When you're in denial about how much you're study methods actually work


5. When you convince yourself that you deserve a reward after 5 minutes of studying

6. When you're just really stressed and someone asks if you're okay



7. When your mom asks how college is going, and you have to sound enthusiastic about all the studying you're doing


8. Asking your friends to reassure you that you will do well on your finals


9. When your professor announces that the exam won't be multiple choice


10. You're diet now consists only of "comfort foods"


11. When your classmate asks if you understood last week's lecture


12. "Are you ready for the exam?"


13. When you decide to take a quick 30 minute nap and wake up 5 hours later


14. And finally, the only failures that any of you will experience during finals week. Good luck!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
