Finals week is one of a kind. It's such a special week, that nobody can ever shut the f*ck up about it.

Any kind of help to get through finals week is gladly taken by college students. If anyone wants to help out: here's a list of things that we need in order to make the week successful.

1. Coffee

Late night studying and writing papers last-minute calls for a wake-up call. And by wake up call, I mean caffeine.

2. An Essential Oils Diffuser

Drop in some Lavender essential oil, take a deep breath, and hope for the best. Find your zen girrrrrrl.


3. Coffee

I mean, the first cup helped so much why not have another?

4. Extra Pens

Once you get into that study-groove, you NEVER know what could happen. Keep an extra pen near you in case the one you're using dies, so you don't even need to waste time finding another one and throw off your groove!

5. Maybe More Coffee


YES! This coffee has you feeling good! CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP!

6. Advil

Fight the headaches. Between looking at your computer for hours, the teeny font in your textbooks, and cramming an entire semesters worth of work into a night, the brain begins to feel mushy. Fight alllll the headaches.

7. Okay... Caffeine Helps Headaches Right?

Advil + coffee = headache cocktail

8. Comfy Clothes... But Not TOO Comfy

Sweatpants: yes

Hoodie: yes

Fuzzy Socks: Ugh yes, but no. Too comfy. This puts you in the sleep zone and WE DON'T WANT THAT. WE WANT A'S.

9. ...Maybe One More Cup

The hoodie may have been too comfy. It's prime tired and depressed hour. Time to rejuvenate.

10. A Pillow To Punch

\

There's this certain point when studying for finals when everything starts to go...awry. Take that aggression out on a pillow. Picture that test. You got this. SHOW IT WHO'S BOSS.

11. Do Caffeine Pills Work As Good As Coffee?

MUST. STAY. UP. NEED. AN. A.

12. A Slapping Buddy

A slapping buddy is someone who slaps you every time you start to fall asleep or daydream about Harry Styles. They could possibly be the single most important thing we need for finals week.

13. Is This an Addiction?

At this point, it's the only thing giving me life.

14. Waterproof Mascara and Under Eye Concealer

Waterproof mascara, because during finals week, a mental breakdown could come out of nowhere; and under eye concealer so you don't hear the "Oh my God! You look so tired!" all day.

15. ......................

16. The Will To Live

Like I said, finals week is a special week.

17. NO SHAME

There aren't words to describe the coffee before your last final.

18. A DRINK YOOOOOO

We all deserve drinks at the end of the semester. We did it. We made it out.....

barely.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
