Once upon a time, there was a great college named Kansas State University. They provided exceptional academics, sports, and social life for students across all the lands. Typically around St. Patrick's Day the students at Kansas State would turn a little bit into barbarians.
The school officials decided that they must try to put a stop to these wild celebrations, and thus scheduled Spring Break to occur over St. Patrick’s Day. The students at this great establishment were very educated and thought of a way around this minor interruption of festivities. One of the biggest fake holidays was born and it is now known as Fake Paddy's Day.
As this year's annual Fake Paddy's Day has come to an end, I thought I'd let the most inspirational woman of all time explain what a normal day of tomfoolery is like at K-State during Fake Paddy's Day. That woman is none other than Leslie Knope.
6:30 AM:
You're up and ready to start the day. You can barely get to your 11:30 A.M. class on time, but you wake up like it's Christmas morning on FPD.
9:30 AM:
You're feeling good, but also tell yourself it's not even noon yet. You try to slow your rolls, but you're young so why not go all out.
12:00 PM:
By noon you're at your peak. You finally realize why everyone loves this day. But this will soon fade...
2:00 PM:
By this time you finally realize you haven't eaten anything all day, so you go back to your house and stuff your face with whatever is in the fridge. Waffles and whipped cream is always a good choice.
4:00 PM:
This is prime nap time. You've been up for about ten hours or so and realize that you are not as young as you used to be. It feels like each FPD gets harder and harder for you.
6:00 PM:
You awaken from your deep slumber very disoriented and wondering how you're still alive. But as a true Kansas State student, you finish the night strong... or as strong as your body allows.
9:00 PM:
You drag your friends to another house party and find the nearest couch to sit on as soon as you arrive. You try to convince yourself that you'll never do this again, and this was your last year.
Next morning:
You wake up feeling like a truck ran you over multiple times, took a lap around the block, and continued to run you over. You sleep all day and hope your test on Monday doesn't require a lot of studying.
Couple days after: 
You look through your camera roll and see all of the silly pictures and memories you created with your friends. You remember how much effort you went into planning the perfect outfit, and how you only have a few more years left in college.
Fake Paddy's Day might wreck you, but you'll always be able to look back and remember these bizarre college memories. So here's to future me, wishing myself good luck as I know I will tackle the Fake Paddy's Day beast once again next year.
