The Pain Of Finals Week: April Ludgate Edition

The only time to embrace your inner April.

The Pain Of Finals Week: April Ludgate Edition
Parks & Recreation

The most dreadful time of year has approached us. It's finals week. An entire week of stress, hunger, sleep deprivation and emotional hell. It's also a perfect time to release our inner April Ludgate, the most negative, anti-social but amazing character from "Parks and Recreation." You'll definitely find yourself feeling just like April when some of these events occur during this excruciating week.

1. When someone tries to come in your room while you're finally studying.

Of course this is the time people want to be social with me! When I actually want to be productive!

2. When you've been studying in your room long enough that you don't realize the sun went down.

Hours studying alone in your room with headphones on goes by quicker than you think.

3. When someone walks by you in the library and you pretend to not be procrastinating.

Nope, I haven't been sitting here for two hours doing nothing while my paper writes itself.

4. When you fall asleep doing homework but don't want to inject another coffee.

It's so hard to manage your sleep schedule during finals week but you want to prove yourself that you're stronger than caffeine.

5. When you take over the group project for yourself so you don't fail because of your partners.

You basically do the entire project and perfect what everyone else needs to do. If only you didn't have to put their names on it.

6. When people ask you what you've been doing in between studying.

Study. Sleep. Repeat.

7. When someone tells you that you can make it through the week, but you've lost all hope.

I can't do five more hours of studying! Stop telling me I can!

8. When you realize you have to go through this stress for three more years.

Finals week is really the only thing to complain about being a college student, so three more years of hell weeks shouldn't be that bad.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
