Figuring Out The First Test Week Of The Semester, With Leslie Knope

"We have to remember what's important in life: friends waffles and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third."

Build yourself up!

Giphy

Build up that self-esteem way in advance. If you know you are going to fail it, write yourself that encouragement letter. You deserve it!

Make that time for YOU!

Giphy

Honestly, more love and more action are key. Love yourself enough to take breaks, but also love yourself enough to take action!!!

We all feel this way.

Giphy

Maybe you waited till the last minute and are struggling. Keep going, take a deep breath, and realize that as soon as its over, you can go home and take a nap.

Reach out to friends for help you may need.

Giphy

Leslie slayed on asking people for help. You can do this.

Get to the test, and maybe it is 4 different chapters that you didn't look at.

Giphy

Don't forget to bring shaving cream to send that professor out the door.

But maybe you left the test, and actually feel like you kill it.

Giphy

I mean, if you feel like you did good, no one is hating.

But then you get that test back, and realize that you are down a hole unless you get some extra credit.

Giphy

Office hours, here we come.

"Sorry, I have already told you, I do not give extra credit."

Giphy

The cursed words you never want to hear.

And the class average comes back, and its 97, and you feel dumb.

Giphy

Honestly, what went wrong? Time to drop out.

The week is over, and you somehow have to figure out how to make a 96 in each class for the rest of the semester to keep your GPA.

Giphy

"I'm sorry, does anyone have a pillow I can scream in?" Happy Test Week!!!

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.
