A Day at the Library as Told by Leslie Knope

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

A day at the library studying for finals brings a wide array of emotions from joy to frustration to hangry tears.  To fully illustrate the emotional roller coaster of studying, we’re taking a page from the book of our personal hero, Leslie Knope.

When you’re wandering around looking for a spot

When you finally get a spot near an outlet

When someone takes your spot when you left for five minutes to get food

When you realize you saved all your studying for the night before

When your mom asks how things are going

Trying to take a practice exam

Getting questions right on your practice exam

Getting questions wrong on your practice exam

When you realize how tired you actually are

When you are in desperate need for caffeine

When you realize all the time you’ve spent in the library

When you finally get to leave for the night

Only to realize you have to do it all again tomorrow

Although studying for finals may make you feel like everything hurts and you’re dying, it’ll all pay off when you finally get to go home for Christmas break and not think about school for a whole, blissful month.  And just remember, Leslie Knope is always rooting for you.
