It's work week, the 12-hour days when sororities get ready for recruitment, and it's going to be a long week full of lots of ups, downs and every emotion in-between. Every sorority has their own version of Ron Swanson, aka the girl with the sarcasm who just looks forward to eating during breaks. There's also the Leslie Knope of every sorority, the one who manages to stay peppy until the very end of the day and is always down for a pep talk. Then, there are the April's, Andy's, Tom's, Ben's and more in each house. Here's a look at how work week really is as told by the characters of "Parks and Recreation":
1. Drinking twice as much coffee than usual because
you know caffeine’s the only way you’ll make it through the 12-hour day.
2. Having to deal with girls constantly complaining because they just don’t want to be there and "have better things to do."
3. Getting those tiny breaks and realizing it’s food time.
4. Having to go over the same thing time and time again because one or two people aren’t getting it.
5. Hearing the words “just one more time” when you’ve already sung the same song a million times. *This is why I have trust issues.*
6. Having those mini dance parties between activities and realizing work week isn’t the worst thing when you spend it with sisters.
7. Getting told to “keep your spirits high” or
“just keep smiling."
8. Having to constantly practice conversations and you suddenly don’t even know how to form a sentence because words are hard.
9. You realize you're not even sure if you have eardrums anymore from all the loud chanting and singing from a room full of girls.
10. Realizing it’s 120 degrees in the room and hoping someone notices and opens up the windows and door.
11. Craving a nap toward the end of the day and barely being able to function like a normal human being.
12. Not getting an actual meal until late at night.
13. That feeling of finally being able to go home to curl up in bed. It's what you've been dreaming about almost all day.
14. Completely giving up on how you look by the end of the week because you're just so tired and you know you're going to have to put in a lot of effort next week for recruitment.
15. Going on a roller coaster of emotions (possibly more than once) throughout the week.
16. But you're not in it alone, and you’ll become even closer to your sisters and friendships will blossom even further.
17. Finally making it through work week and realizing it's recruitment time.
18. And recruitment means bid day is coming up, and that's the real goal here.
