Well, the semester is finally over. If you’re like me, you have a ton of extra quizzes, tests, and articles that you read for class (*wink, wink*). If you are wondering what to do with all of them, look no further than this list of 11 things you can do with your old papers.

1. Recycle

Although you were not directly responsible for all the trees being killed for your exams, this is a great way to give back and prevent more trees from being killed in the future. It will probably make you feel better than some of those exam and quiz grades made you feel.

2. Paper airplane wars

Grab some friends, make as many paper airplanes as possible, and have an epic paper airplane battle. Choose an open space or somewhere where you have obstacles to hide behind. When you’ve been hit, you’re out.

3. Paper snowball wars

Are your paper airplane making skills a little lacking? Just crumple up the paper into balls and have a paper snowball fight. You could also have a dunking contest. Totally your call.

4. Christmas in June/July

Can’t wait for the snow? Take all of those old tests and quizzes and make paper snowflakes. You can hang them from the ceiling or tape them to your windows. If you are really missing shoveling, you could throw them all over your driveway and shovel them all away.

5. Pretend to be "The Newsies"

Anyone that has seen the movie "The Newsies" has always dreamed of reenacting the infamous paper destruction scene. If you haven’t seen it, this clip will give you the inspiration.

6. Learn origami

Looking to pick up a new hobby? Make a little Yoda to put on your desk or some flowers for special occasions. There are tons of different things to make.

7. Buy a Spirograph

WARNING: These are addicting. There are so many different designs that you can make and so many different colors that you can use. If this doesn’t make you feel nostalgic, nothing else will.

8. Wrap a present

If you are still living on that college budget, have no fear. You can use all of those old tests and quizzes to wrap your next present. Just maybe cross out the grades that you got.

9. Shredder

Enough said.

10. Color a picture

Relive your childhood and color a picture. You could use crayons, markers, colored pencils, or a combination of all three. You’re an adult now; you can do what you want.

11. Burn baby burn!

Need an excuse to roast s’mores now that the weather is nice? Test and quiz papers are great fire starters, and they are so fun to burn!

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.

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.
