No college student is a stranger to being sick, but when it happens during finals week when stress is at its peak? No thank you. Luckily, the Fab Five are here (in GIF format, anyway) to provide you some wholesomeness and joy in this trying time (by the way, if you haven't watched Netflix's new original series "Queer Eye" yet, then you're seriously missing out). The show promotes ways for people to be the best versions of themselves that they can be, so sit back with your hot tea and cough drops to take a break from studying!

1. When you start feeling a scratch in your throat in the middle of your notes and you realize the ride you're about to be in for

BRB, on my way to get all the Vitamin C.

2. When people start commenting on your ailing appearance

I'm talking paleness on top of undereye bags from those all-nighters you've been pulling recently.

3. When you gather all the medicine you can find to help your symptoms and hit the cash register

Don't even get me started on how expensive the brand names are. Too bad I can't sell my textbooks back yet.

4. When you try to drink beverages better suited to help your sickness rather than that large coffee you've been eyeing

"I'll get a coffee now and drink plenty of water later!" is the biggest lie you'll tell yourself.

5. When you hit up your mom for health solutions

I need to do WHAT now!?

6. When you try to figure out how to get all your final projects done while still trying to get enough sleep to feel better

There is not enough time in the day nor remedies in the world.

7. When you look up and realize you're in a sea of notes, syllabi, and tissues

I swear I JUST took the garbage out.

8. When you try to maintain a positive attitude after a day of sniffling and shuffling around campus even though all you want to do is crawl into bed

This will last approximately five more seconds when you finally arrive back home and all, but then you'll collapse on the nearest surface.

9. When you try to convince yourself that you'll be fine on the exam if you nap instead of study

I wish this only happened when I was sick, but sometimes naps seem too good to pass up.

10. When your family/friends bring you things to make you feel better

Except you may opt for giving them an air hug instead if you're trying to isolate your contaminants.

11. When you say goodbye to your last two cares in the world and just try to do your best with what you have

Don't let the mess trip you on the way out!

P.S., I know it is easier said than done, but sometimes you just have to realize carrying all that stress isn't doing your health any good! Put effort into your work and try to get a good grade, but remember that it's not the end of the world if you have to retake the class.

12. When you finally start to feel better

I feel BRAND NEW! Wait, still a little bit dizzy.

13. When the week is finally over and its time for a well-deserved rest

Now that you're all done, kick back with the Fab Five and rest your body up before the next term starts.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
