The end of the semester is coming up and that means reading days and late nights of cramming are on the horizon. Even though everyone wants to go home, we have to tough it out for one more week and then we're free. Luckily, "Parks and Recreation" knows what we are going through during that last week of the semester.
1. Going out before exams begin.
