Finals Week As Told By "Parks And Recreation"
Bustle

Finals is a tough time for all of us. Luckily, the cast of "Parks and Recreation" is here to help you survive and motivate you to get through one of the hardest weeks of college. I believe in you, and so does Leslie Knope. Here are 16 instances when "Parks and Recreation" just gets the struggle:

1. When you're sitting in class and the professor says the final is cumulative.


2. You commit yourself to studying during all your free time with hardly any breaks, no sleep until you're basically dead, and no showers unless absolutely necessary.


3. But you show up to the library and it's basically a fight to the death trying to find one single open seat.

4. You start studying and eventually realize you're on hour 7 in the library, only halfway through all the information, and you don't understand any of it.


5. And you know you're about to have a mental breakdown so you really need the support of your friends to help you get through this hard time in your life.


6. After you eventually get through your all-nighter in the library, you realize you have no time to sleep and head straight to your final chugging coffee and just hoping no one comments on the bags under your eyes.

7. Then you walk into your first final with a positive mindset ready to rock it.


8. But you look at the first question and don't know the answer and wonder if you'll know anything else on the exam.


9. Turns out you don't know anything else on the exam so you try to get your classmates to help you in this time of need.


10. So you walk out of the exam knowing that you just bombed it, but it's okay.


11. Your next final is literally the next day so you repeat steps 2-7.


12. And you try to bargain with your teachers because there's literally nothing else for you to do, but they are not having it.

13. You convince yourself that you're going to fail all your finals and drop out of school to do "bigger and better things."


14. You eventually finish all your finals and are absolutely exhausted, but are able to breathe again.


15. But after treating yourself, you reflect on the exams and realize you may have actually failed every single one of them.


16. To your surprise, when you get your grades back, you find out you didn't fail and you did just fine. So you celebrate until next finals week!

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.

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.
