Every college going student has experienced the horror that is finals week. From the back-to-back cumulative exams to the crying in a corner of the library at 4 am – we all know the struggle. This is a comprehensive list of ten major things that one never has time for during finals week.

1. Eating

Because when it comes between chipotle and studying for your finals, chipotle will always win. In fact if it came between chipotle and e-coli, chipotle is still going to win…oh wait.

2. Laundry

You know that pile of clothes sitting in the corner of your room that take up more space than the clean clothes you have left this semester? Yeah… your mom WILL NOT appreciate having those to do when you get home… but alas finals are keeping you from saving your mom. Further proof that they are PURE EVIL.

3. Socializing

Who needs friends, and smiles, and talking, and good times? Not you! You don’t really have the option either so you mine as well get used to it.

4. Being happy

Do you remember that feeling… its hard to put into words but like that time when you weren’t in a constant free-fall into a bottomless pit of despair? Wow that time was great – seems like so long ago.

5. Sleeping

Not that it was ever something you needed, but it did make not causing massive accidents and running over small children on your commute to campus a lot easier when you weren’t falling asleep behind the wheel.

6. Breathing

No time to take precious breaths – the textbook you’re buried in does not allow for much oxygen storage, so proceed with caution.

7. Makeup

You may or may not have caused two deaths while on your way to class today – I guess the horrible ugliness of un-fleeked eyebrows, and a blotchy, foundationless face were too much for some…. Who said looks could kill? SpongeBob would be proud.

8. Showers

Not washing your hair is one thing, I mean who REALLY has time for that, but showering your body has got to stop around this time to. The pile of sweatpants, sweater combos lying across your bedroom floor hide your stench adequately enough and the time it would take to properly take care of yourself just is not worth it.

9. GoT

This is probably the most problematic. THE NEW SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES HAS STARTED FOR GODSSAKE. Guess who doesn’t have time to watch it? YOU. Life sucks then you die, the sooner you accept it and move on, the better.

10. Stressing about your future.

Unless you are a senior (in which you are exempt from this because your whole world is stressing about the future), during finals week all you have time for is to stress and cry over your current list of exams, not the list of things you may or may not accomplish in the future. In a way, this is the only positive aspect of finals week, that you get to for a short time not worry about the failure you are destined to be.

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.
