Finals Week As Told By Parks And Recreation
The Odyssey Online

Finals week is here and whether that means countless term papers or a cumulative exam in every class, everyone is just ready for the work to be done. And we'll get there one way or another. But, considering that you're reading this, you're probably taking a break. So, sit back and enjoy a brief description of finals week as told by the characters of "Parks and Recreation."

1. Looking at your schedule for the week before winter break.

There's nothing more depressing than a schedule so full that you anticipate missing several meals.

2. Writing a solid introduction paragraph for your final paper.

3. And deciding that this introduction is so good, you deserve a break.

Because, yes, your schedule is full and you probably won't sleep, but you just did some great work, and a quick mental breather is in order.

4. When your break lasts longer than expected.

You were going to just watch half an episode and then continue working, but then it turned into an eight episode binge-session. Looks like an all-nighter is in your future.

5. The feeling when you finish an exam and have no idea how you did.

Maybe the teacher will grade on a curve?

6. Feeling studious because your Snapchat story is 90% pictures of being in the library with your friends.

Unfortunately, 90% of your time in the library is choosing a perfect playlist and drawing on the white boards.

7. Walking out of the exam room, knowing you did a good job.

There is nothing more satisfying than knowing you got an A.

8. When your professor assigns both a final paper and an exam.

Why. Just why.

9. When you did well enough on the other tests that the professor says you don't have to take the final.

The biggest relief ever.

10. Trying to remember to eat the last few days before break.

You don't have time to go to the store and can't bring yourself to order pizza again.

11. Any mention of Christmas whatsoever.

So. Much. Excitement.

12. Finishing your last exam and turning in your last paper.

Happy holidays, everyone. You're almost there.

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!)
