13 Thoughts to Get You Through Finals Week

Finals week is rough. You spend all your time in the library, guzzling coffee, calculating how low your final can be to still get a passing grade. It's the end of the year, and you want to celebrate with friends, but you're still stuck inside dealing with a mountain of a workload. Here's a couple thoughts to get you through finals week.

1. Summer is coming, so warm weather.

It was snowing last month in Indiana, so yeah, you could say I'm excited to wear shorts and tank tops for the next four months.

2. You get to see your pet soon.

Everyone misses their dog/cat/iguana/rabbit/little brother. Being reunited is going to feel so good.

3. You don't have to go to that one class you've been dreading.

You know the one I'm talking about. The one class where you watch the minutes tick by as slowly as possible. You're never going to have to see that terrible professor again, nor suffer through his awful assignments. Peace.


4. You're almost done with dining hall food.

The dining hall isn't even that bad, I just really can't wait to get back to my mom's cooking. After 9 months of the same meals, you get sick of it after a while.

5. You won't have to read a textbook for 4 months.

Not that you read the textbook in the first place.


6. You get to see all your hometown friends.

So much has happened in the past year and it's weird to think of hometown friends having the same amount of crazy experiences. I've missed them incredibly, and I can't wait to see them all so soon.

7. With the summer months come summer concerts.

Whether you're going to a big festival, or just seeing one of your favorites nearby, it's gonna be a great concert season.

8. You can finally catch up on Netflix.

I've had one person harping on me to start watching "Game of Thrones", so I guess I'll be booked my first few weeks of summer.

9. You should plan a summer adventure.

Whether it's a road trip, a camping trip, a beach day, etc., you should plan one special day/weekend where you can actually explore and enjoy your time off.

10. You'll have an excuse to eat more ice cream.

It's not summer if I'm not eating a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone every other day.

11. You can choose your own summer reading.

No more assigned readings. You can finally get around to reading that bestseller you've been eyeing.


12. Hopefully, you'll be making money.

Hopefully, you have a summer job and you'll be saving up for next year's shenanigans. Unless you have an unpaid internship, which is almost as good since at least you're building your resume and getting that experience.

13. Summer blockbusters.

Personally, I can't wait to see Suicide Squad. Summer is the perfect time to go to the movies.

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.
