Finals As Told By Parks And Rec

“I’m gonna tell you a secret about everyone else’s job: No one knows what they’re doing. Deep down, everyone is just faking it until they figure it out. And you will too, because you are awesome.” -April Ludgate

Finals As Told By Parks And Rec
Thought Catalog

You just had Thanksgiving break and went home and stuffed your face with endless amounts of food and didn't have a care in the world. You come back to school feeling all refreshed and renewed from the break, but then you blink your eyes and it's here...FINALS WEEK. It's approaching quickly and it's not so subtle anymore. It's coming up faster than you're prepared for and it's time to start cramming all your studying into just a short week or so. There are no words to explain how terrible the feeling of finals week and all the preparation leading up to it is, so we'll let Parks and Rec do all of the explaining for us.

This is the very moment that you realized finals week is right around the corner.


You're trying to prepare yourself and you need all the moral support you can get.


When your parents call to ask how studying is going.


Preparing yourself to go to the testing lab.


Walking into the testing lab to take your finals...


...but then you realize nothing you studied is on the test...


...so you give up and hope the professor is giving out participation points.


When you have to write an essay and you don't know enough about the topic to reach your required word count.


There's always that test you don't think you need to study for until you sit down to take it.


This is what's probably going through your mind while you're sitting in the testing lab.


What you do after seeing your final grades.


And then you have to tell your parents about your grades and their response sounds a little bit like this...


Now that you've taken your finals and come to terms with how they turned out, you just can't function the way you did before it all.

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.

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.
