The End Of The Semester As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'

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.

When your friends force you to go out because it's the last weekend, but you have an 8 a.m. class the next morning.

2. Trying to remember all of the information that you learned.

When it's so hard to know everything from one semester, but you try everything you can.

3. When studying becomes too much.

We all need a break at some point.

4. Dealing with the insane amount of work.

When you give up being a responsible adult because the work load grows by 100 percent.

5. Doing work is no longer appealing.

When you want your professor to say "great work" or "amazing job," but you don't want to put in the effort to get there.

6. Thoughts after an exam.

All of a sudden, you've finished most of your exams.

7. Thoughts during an exam.


We've all had an exam that we didn't realize how unprepared we were for it.

8. Keeping strong during finals week.


When you literally just can't study anymore, but you have to remind yourself that you are strong.

9. Planning out alternative options.

Options include: going back to sleep, going to class, studying or take the L.

10. Giving yourself motivation.

Sometimes you just have to give yourself that pep talk.

11. You start becoming jealous of the ones who aren't studying.

You even envy animals too much because they don't have to go through college.

12. You wish you were a kid again.

Finally, this realization will hit you harder than a train.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
