Finals Week As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'

Most of us college students are about to embark on the miserable journey that is finals week. Sure, people warned us when they said it was going to be rough, but nothing could prepare us for the week of (and really, the week before) final exams. Man, I wish I could go back to having high school exams. But you don't know what you've got until it's gone, right? As we prepare to enter an incredibly stressful last few days, remember to treat yo self and enjoy some laughs with the help of Pawnee's best.

One week before finals.

It's far enough away that procrastination is still justifiable, right?

...who am I kidding, I'll be procrastinating for at least another six days. It'll be fine. I'm invincible.

The weekend before finals.

As your finals become closer, anxiety begins to set in...

But you know what? There's still time! We'll just pull an all nighter the day before!

The night before the test.

While motivation and confidence may be high at first...

...it'll begin to taper off pretty rapidly.

As a result, pep talks and encouragement become vital.

So much so that you may need to pick yourself up every once in a while

By the wee hours of the morning, you'll likely be losing your mind a bit.

Holy crap the test is in a few hours!

The morning of the test.

At this point, who knows how long you've been awake?

But good thing confidence is at an all time high!

Ehh, it'll be over soon enough.

During the test.

You'll feel a tad bit overwhelmed when you first get the final in front of you.

Your professor will likely throw some trick questions in there (good luck figuring them out).

You better pray there's no essay portion of the exam because after your all nighter, you may be just a smidge delirious.

And let's sure hope there's no minimum word count...

After the test.

You'll likely need a time out immediately after your exams.

But it's okay because you did it! You made it out barely alive! Now time to enjoy the next four months without class and homework!

But why do I have to leave all my friends now? Please don't make me leave them.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
