The most stressful week of the semester is upon us, finals week. It seems as if the semester just started yesterday and now you need to remember everything you learned over the past 15 weeks. The stress is just pouring down on you, but don't worry, Leslie Knope knows exactly how you feel.

When you procrastinate until the very last minute.

If you are like me you tend to procrastinate every single thing, including studying for finals. Then, as finals week gets closer and closer, you start to realize how bad you screwed up and start to panic.

Nothing is more annoying than trying to get your life together and then being interrupted by other people’s conversations. Like, please cease and desist before I lose it, thank you.

As a result of procrastinating, you get absolutely no sleep.

Since you decided to wait until the day before your final to start studying, you are now most likely the crankiest person on the planet, whether you would like to admit it or not.


Due to your lack of sleep and procrastination, you are now starting to have a serious nervous breakdown.

The pressure of doing well on your finals combined with your exhaustion is starting to get to you, and your anxiety is just piling up. Multiple exams all in one week tend to cause many nervous breakdowns across the campus.


After you have been studying for hours on end and the information still is not sticking.

You would think after sitting there rereading and rewriting notes for eight hours you would be able to retain the information you are drilling into your brain. But honestly, that is not always the case

When you finally start your exam and everyone is finishing before you're even halfway through the exam.

Is everyone in on something that I am not aware of? Do I have the right test? Or am I just plain stupid? This is where you really begin rushing and then second-guessing every answer you choose.


When you finish your last exam and get to be stress free for six weeks.

After all of the stress and anxiety, you finally get to relax and sleep for six weeks straight. Do your happy dance and enjoy your break until it is time to start all over again.

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.
