The Second Half Of The Semester Slump, As Told By Barney Stinson

The Second Half Of The Semester Slump, As Told By Barney Stinson

Remember last summer when you were able to sit around doing nothing? Even if you were doing something like working two jobs or taking a summer class, nothing was as bad as during the semester. At this point, we are all counting down the days until our responsibilities go away and we can sit back and relax for a minute without falling behind. The mid semester slump is upon us and the only way to get through it is to acknowledge it's presence.

Sitting in lectures like

Evolution of plants in Eastern Europe, balancing chemical equations, calculation summations, and renaissance art all seem to be putting me to sleep in class.

Pulling an all nighter to study for an exam

Why should I study in advance when I can just study the night before and get the same grade?

When professors keep you till the last second of class

Nothing more annoying than when there is 5 minutes in the class period and the professor decides to begin the next chapter...

When your friend says they haven't skipped class yet this semester


If you didn't skip class at least once to take a nap are you actually a college student?

When you barely studied for an exam and still passed

I'd like to give a shoutout to my professor for hooking us up with a 15 point curve.

Paper due 12 a.m. Monday morning ... Currently 10 p.m. Sunday night

There are so many other things I would rather be doing than sitting at a computer in the library on a Saturday night writing a seven page paper.

When your campus holds stress-relieving events and all you want to do is pet the animals

If there is are puppies sitting in the student center, you are obligated to stop and pet them. If you don't, you don't have a heart.

When you have to tell your parents how you're doing this semester

"Oh! I have 2 As, and 3 Bs!" little do your parents know that you're failing four classes and haven't been to your fifth at all this semester.

When you want to go to the frats but you have to study instead

Its a themed party ... but I have to study ... maybe ill just go for an hour... it'll be fine!

When math finally makes sense right before the final

Two words: mind blown. Who knew calculus could actually make sense? Maybe if I went to class all those times instead of taking a nap I would've figured this out sooner!

When you finally finish finals and realize that the summer is gonna be

Believe me I'm sure you'll survive the rest of this semester. In the meantime, make an attempt to go to class, submit your work early, and pet all the puppies you can. Soon enough you'll be able to relax for a few days and let another semester start in no time!

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.
