Parks And Finals Week

"I don't know what I'm doing..."

Parks And Finals Week
NBC

For many freshmen like myself, our first university level finals week is just around the corner. I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally am terrified for what's to come over the next few weeks before winter break starts. From midnight due dates to ridiculous procrastination, pulling all-nighters to cramming a semester's worth of work into a day, there's a lot going on. What better to show that than the masters of disaster at the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department? Here are some feelings that I'm certain will be familiar to first-year freshmen as finals approach.

1. Checking Canvas expecting to see a 27 but you actually have a 92.

2. The day after you pull an all-nighter.

3. When the Five-Hour Energy hits.

4. When you've got an oral presentation in front of the whole class.

5. Eating your anxiety away.

6. When you remember a midnight deadline at 11:55.

7. When you finish your first exam and walk out of the lecture hall.

8. When the stress and the flu hit at the same time but you have a test to take.

9. When you get to leave the class you hated all semester for the last time.

10. Getting together a study group for a class everyone is failing, but knowing you'll fail together.

11. When you have to do all the work on a group project final.

12. When you think you totally aced a final but you completely flunked it.

13. Trying to study when your phone keeps buzzing.

14. Trying to be positive through the last few days of finals week.

15. And finally, the day after finals are blessedly over and winter break begins.

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. 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.
