10 Things That Happen In The Last Month Of College, Explained By 'Parks And Recreation'

In This Article:

The last month of school is upon us, which means finals are approaching, our brains are evacuating, and we are counting down the days until sweet freedom. We all tend to feel and think the same things during the end of the Spring semester, so here are some relatable ways these things occur told by our friends from "Parks and Recreation."

1. The first day motivation moment. 

Giphy

When you know you have exactly one month left of school and you are determined to go to every class, study and not procrastinate.

2. You also help motivate your friends.

Giphy

You have enough motivation that you even encourage and motivate your friends.

3. But then that all quickly fades.

Giphy

After one day, you know that's all the motivation you have in you.

4. You begin to completely lose all brain power.

Giphy

The simple things aren't so simple anymore.

5. You may have put the wrong answer on a test.

Giphy

Everyone is talking about how they got Wisconsin as the answer but you put 74.

6. When someone is sitting in your seat that you've sat in all semester.

Giphy

I mean, seriously... where did you even come from?!

7. When you decide to go out when you should be studying.

Giphy

What's a few hours of going out and having fun instead of sitting in your room stressing about all the assignments you haven't done, right?

8. And then you immediately regret it.

Giphy

Then it dawns on you how much you should have not done that.

9. Then you wake up on the last day of school.

Giphy

You've made it... it's the last day and you can smell freedom just hours away!

10. That moment you receive your final grades.

Giphy

After weeks of waiting in agony for your final grades, you realized you passed...barely, but who cares! YOU PASSED.

We all can relate to our good friends here from Parks and Rec on our final days of school and the continuous struggle, but remember, as Leslie Knope once said, "You are a beautiful, tropical fish- smart as a whip and cool under pressure." You can do this!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
