Mid-term Week as told by "Parks and Recreation"
Huffingtonpost.com

Whether your midterm week has happened in the past, is happening in the present or will happen in the future, you completely understand the stress that rains down on you during that week. For those that have watched the NBC show that is now sadly off the air; Parks and Recreation, you know that the characters are pee your pants funny and scary relatable. And if you haven't watched the show then you need to re-evaluate your life choices. No, but seriously even if you haven't watched the show, these gifs that explain mid-term week will connect with on a deeper level than the large caramel iced coffee that is giving you comfort.

It's 3 in the morning, there are papers everywhere, 4 old iced coffee cups sit next to you and oh mY GOD YOU LOST YOUR NOTES ON THE SITUATION CRISIS COMmuniCation ThEORY.

This textbook is literally 600 pages. I am too lazy to search the entirety of it to know what an employee public is. It cost me $200 so it should be able to search itself. next question *throws book out the window*

When you think its a good idea to study with a friend because "teamwork is dreamwork" but instead just end up watching youtube videos on how to death drop.

"I've paid attention in class" you say. "I have all day tomorrow to study" you say. "I'll start in a couple of hours" you say. "There are still 7 hours left until the exam" you say. "I'm gonna fail" you accept.

When your parents ask you how your "studying" is going and if you feel prepared.

Note cards are just a blur and you've been reading the same sentence for 10 minutes. No matter how much you study you feel like everything is going through one ear and right out the other.

Since you can't remember jack, you keep coming up with 10,000 possible scenarios of the grades you will get and the failure that you believe you will become.

Walking into the exam with either a feeling of pure defeat or extreme preparation.

When the teacher hands you the exam and the only answer you know is Name:

Walking out of the exam texting your mom telling her that you need her to tell you that she still loves you no matter if you get a D- or a D+.

YOU'RE FREE. IT'S OVER. DANCE HUNNY, DANCE. It's lit regardless if you failed or passed because you can finally burn your notes and go to sleep.

Just kidding you still have 3 more tests this week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck friends!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
