10 Relatable Feelings On Dead Week

The sun is shining, the fountain on campus has been turned on, the flowers are blooming and the grass has turned green. Meanwhile, you are stuck inside having your 12578th mental breakdown of the week. Why? Because it is dead week and finals are just around the corner. But don't worry, you aren't alone! There are hundreds of thousands of college students all around the country that are feeling the same way you are right now! So, let me help you procrastinate on studying some more by giving you ten relatable feelings about the week before finals week.

1. You have already calculated what you have to get on the final to pass the class.

If you are anything like me, you have already determined that some classes you just have to take an L.

2. No matter how much stuff you have to do, you can't pass up a jam session with friends or going to get food.

They aren't lying when they say you gain the freshman 15.

3. You have retained absolutely nothing for the last week in your classes.

To be honest, they should just give us dead week off.

4. You've said "it's fine" or "I am fine" a ridiculous amount in the past week.

S.O.S. you are NOT fine! It is NOT fine!

5. You've used social media as a distraction more than once....or 50 times.

You're welcome.

6. You are SO TIRED.

At this point, you don't remember what sleep looks or feels like.

7. You're annoyed that you have gotten up for your classes more that once this week for them to only last 20 minutes.

Why couldn't the professor just tell us what to review for the final and hand out class evaluations last class?

8. You know you should start packing but hey you've already got enough on your plate right now.

How did I fit all of this in my car the first time????

9. You have started to wonder if this degree is really worth your mental health.

YES. The work is worth it. You can do it!

10. You have fantasized more than once what it will feel like when you are completely done with finals.

Just remember, it is only one more week and then it is time for summer vacation! You. Can. Do. It. May the odds be ever in your favor. *cue Hunger Games music*

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
