14 'Parks and Rec' Moments That Describe Your Post-Finals Thoughts
Ytimg

Stress. Exhaustion. Studying overload. 3-5 hours of sleep a night (if you’re lucky).

Does this sum up your finals week? I know it sums up mine for sure. When you’re so close to the holidays yet so far, the last stretch — just one week — feels like it’ll last a lifetime. I still don’t know how we made it through but now that it’s over, these are my post-finals thoughts on life:


1. "I'm dead." - Chris Traeger, my one true love.

That hysterical smile though.

2. "Treat. Yo. Self." - Donna Meagle

My mantra as I take a bubble bath everyday for the next month.

3. "Everything hurts and I'm dying." - The one and only, Leslie Knope

After accidentally falling asleep upright on a library couch for 2+ hours, this quote is my life.

4. "Ugh." - April Ludgate

Same, April, same. In the meantime, enjoy this very rare image of April with a non-murderous expression on her face.

5. "I don't care." - Ben Wyatt

Everyone wants to know how my finals went, if I think I passed, if I got an A in the class. This is my response.

6. "Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot." - Tom Haverford

And by "ball a lot" I mean get a degree so I can get a job so I can pay off my debt.

7. "And it's you season." - Donna

Self-care is no longer a question after what we've been through.

8. "Oh boy, I am blessed." - Jerry Gergich

When you turn in that last final ...

9. "It's a Christmas miracle." - April

When you think you may have actually done decent on that physics final ...

10. "It's just that life is pointless and nothing matters and I'm always tired." - Andy Dwyer

The night before finals week began, I look out the window and said these very same words.

11. "I guess this is it. Bye!" - Jerry

It's pretty hard to say bye to your professors after finals but let's be honest, you're not all that sad, right?

12. "This is the hardest I've worked on anything since..." - Tom

Since never. Enough said.

13. "I may never smile again." - Chris

Is it even possible to smile after this much torture?

14. "I just slept seven hours, which is twice as long as I usually sleep, so I'm a little disoriented." - Leslie

Accurate - especially around 4-ish in the morning when you feel like you're going to pass out. You know who you are.

15. No quote or caption necessary.

Aaannddd this is why we love Andy.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
