15 End-Of-The-Semester Moments Every College Student Experiences, As Told By Nick Miller

Ah, finals. While there's no proper way to quite capture all the crippling anxiety and self-loathing that comes at the end of the semester, Nick Miller from New Girl sure does come close. Get even more sidetracked from the work you should be doing and enjoy these 15 moments all college students experience at the end of the semester.

1. Coming back from Thanksgiving break and remembering everything you have to do over the next three weeks.

2. Finally checking the syllabus in your "easy" class and realizing your professor assigned a group project, final paper and exam all due before Christmas.

3. Continuing to put off everything and rewarding yourself for the little bit of work you do.

4. Finding little things to keep you as positive (and sane) as possible...

5. ...only to have the panic start to kick in with just two weeks left.

6. Beginning to question why you decided to "college" in the first place, looking into other professions that don't require an education.

7. Priding yourself in completing basic, everyday tasks - such as getting out of bed that day.

8. Using your stress as an excuse to treat yourself.


9. Wishing you could bring the comfort of your room (specifically, your bed) to the library with you.

10. De-stressing by having a glass (or bottle) of wine.

11. Reassuring your parents that you're taking care of yourself - kind of.


12. Lacking any sort of social or romantic life, so you resort to befriending the workers at the library's café who make your hourly coffee.


13. Studying for hours yet the only thing you've memorized is that "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell".

14. Accepting that you're going to fail.


15. Walking out of your last exam relieved...only to remember you have to do it all over again next semester.

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.
