22 'Parks And Recreation' GIFs That Describe Your Life In College

What do college students and the TV show "Parks and Recreation" have in common? Dysfunctional children in adult bodies. Whoever decided letting 10,000+ college students live in moped-distance from each other was obviously deranged. Lucky for us, we have the cast of "Parks and Recreation" to publicly show our struggles.

5. When you're (finally) being productive while studying


6. How you feel when your professor gives a study guide


7. The night after a test


8. Finally checking your grade

10. Group projects: Part Two



11. When you forget to pay rent


12. When you literally get out of bed and go to class



13. How you eat on tests week (or all the time)



14. When people make small talk in class


15. When you make a better grade than the kid who normally breaks the curve



16. When your friend has a really bad idea

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.
