The End of the Spring Semester, As Told By Leslie Knope

As the semester is coming into its final stretch, we all find ourselves slowly losing our minds due to the hours of cramming and last minute assignments while attempting to survive on gallons of coffee. I have been squeezing in Parks and Recreation episodes in the minutes of free time I manage to salvage so that I can keep some sanity during all of this chaos. I now present you with the end of the semester as told by the one, the only, Leslie Barbara Knope.

1. When you're getting yourself in the frame of mind to start knocking out assignments. It's go time and you've got this.

2. When you realize you should have started studying last week instead of procrastinating. Why are you the way that you are?

3. You run out of creamer and force yourself to drink a cup of black coffee. How do people drink this on a regular basis?

4. You have your first stress induced breakdown and ask your best friend for pep talks to make it through the week. She is a beautiful angel that keeps you sane.

5. You've been too busy studying and remember you're supposed to be packing to move home. Time flies when you're losing your mind looking at notes and textbooks.

6. When you're psyching yourself up before your test. You are a glorious female warrior who can slay this final.

7. You come to a question where you must choose the false answer but option D is "A,B, and C". How do they come up with this monstrous questions?!

8. You've made it half way through finals week but still have two tests to go. You feel like death but must march on.

9. When it's time to submit class evaluations and dish out your real feelings on your professors and their classes.

10. You apologize to your parents for how tightly strung you have been for the past couple of weeks. You can't be held responsible for the way that finals week turns you into a different person.

11. When grades start rolling in and you got the A's you struggled for. You can't help but revel in your awesomeness. After all of that hard work, you deserve a little self praise.

12. You have finished your last final, you have survived, and it is time to live it up! Woo hoo!

13. Now that school is over, it's time to plan your summer fun. It's gonna be bigger and better than ever. You deserve it you goddess you.

Finals week is around the corner and we're in that home stretch. It's like we have a week long seminar led by Jerry to suffer through. The horror! Just keep your heads up and remember that you are all beautiful angels that are capable of anything you set your minds to. Leslie Knope would believe in you and I do too.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
