The End of the Semester as Told by Parks and Recreation

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Dickinson chapter.

As we enter the last week of classes and approach finals week, it’s fair to assume that everyone is experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions. What better way to de-stress (read: procrastinate) than by watching your favorite show on Netflix? “Parks and Recreation” is my go-to, and these moments from the show perfectly sum up the end of the semester.

1) When you come back from Thanksgiving break and realize there are only two weeks of classes left…

 

2) …but spend the day(s) after break catching up on the work you accidentally-on-purpose forgot to bring home.

3) You breathe a sigh of relief when you’re finally caught up, and take a moment to relax…

 

 

4) …but you knew it was too good to be true, because finals are next week.  

5) You begrudgingly start to accept the mountains of work and exams coming your way.

6) It’s definitely overwhelming, and you may feel like accepting failure…

 

7) …so you drown your sorrows in pizza during a late-night study session.  

8) Eventually, finals are over!

 

9) You have no idea how well you did, but it doesn’t matter, because they’re over.  

10) Finally, it’s time to go home and relax… until the cycle repeats itself next semester.
