8 Stages of Working on a Group Presentation as Expressed Through Leslie Knope

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

1. Initial Panic

Wait, what? Groups of how many? When is this due? How long does it have to be? I have to work with them?

2. Confusion

No one, including you, can decide on what to do, how to divide up the work or just in general what the heck is going on.

3. Annoyed

 

You got stuck with the worst part of the project and probably the most work.

4. Frustrated

Your friend’s project looks killer, and yours still looks like a hot mess. Why couldn’t the two of you get assigned to work together?

5. Confusion Again

The second time is almost as bad as the first. Where is everyone else’s work? What’s taking so long? Are you the only one who has worked on the project so far?

6. Panicked

That’s it. No one else did any work. You’re screwed.

7. Relief

You overreacted! Your partners pulled through! Although they cut it a little close, they did their work.

8. Accomplishment

It’s done! You did it! It might not be perfect, but at least it’s over.
