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.

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.
