33 Things to Get You Through Finals Week
Odyssey

Finals. They're the worst, huh? Well, as I sit here, procrastinating studying by writing an extremely lengthy article, I present to you a nice study break and opportunity to procrastinate a long with me. Here are thirty-three (that's right, thirty-three) things that will help you survive the tragedy of finals week. :)

1. Buster the Bulldog.

I lowkey might be Buster's #1 fan, but c'mon, how could you not love this little face?

2. Spongebob Squarepants.

Sometimes, childhood cartoon shows are the only things that can motivate me.

3. The promise of summer.

We are literally so. close.

4. Gifs.

Gifs are life. Gifs are bae.

5. Homemade food.

Now, don't get me wrong. Cobo's a pretty great college dining service. But let's be real, there's nothing like a home-cooked meal.

6. Friendship.

(Cue the "Oh that's so sweet" comments). HA, jokes on you, I don't have friends.

7. Coffee.

Friends might not stay up with you until 7 a.m. but coffee will always be there when you pull an all-nighter.

8. Or tea.


I don't know, people drink this stuff, right?

9. Or hot chocolate.

My personal drink of choice.

10. Pictures of baby animals.

"Katie, doesn't Buster fall under this category?" FALSE. Buster the Bulldog will forever be his own category.

11. Patriotism.

Give me a "U". Give me an "S". Give me an "A". What does that spell? USA USA USA.

12. Thorough study guides.

God bless you, my kind professor, for telling me exactly what I need to know on this final.

13. Netflix.

Netflix is a Band-Aid for your soul.

14. Food.

I <3 food.

15. More Food.

You thought I was kidding, but I legitimately <3 food.

16. Probably even more food.

No, seriously. Like, I LOVE food.

17. Sleep.

GOTCHA! You're not going to sleep this week. I'm sorry. It's just the truth.

18. The promise of sleep.

When finals are all said and done, you will have plenty of time for sleeping.


19. Roadtrips.

My roadtrip will be with my three best friends: me, myself, and I. We are going to rock out for six hours on the way home.

20. Your family.

Who else can pester you with dad jokes? "Did you hear about the person who invented knock-knock jokes? He won the No-Bell prize."

21. Mugs.

It might be important to note that I'm referring to mugs as in cups and not mugs as in muggings.

22. Selena Gomez.

Don't lie to me. You love "Same Old Love".

23. IHOP.

Is it possible that IHOP is my guardian angel?

24. The YOLO.

Don't wanna study for that final? Don't! (JK you should probably study for that final).

25. Hot chocolate.

I know it's already on the list but it's just so good.

26. Facebook.

Distraction or a blessing?

27. Tissues

For all of your tears.

28. Ice Cream

"But Katie, doesn't ice cream fall under the category of food? And you've put food on here like five times already?!" Actually, ice cream deserves its own category and I only talked about food four times. So there.

29. Taylor Swift

"Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard."

30. Extended Library Hours.

The library is my safe haven.

31. Books

Do you see how happy these people are about books? We should all be this excited to see books.

32. This article.

I'm shocked you're reading this right now. Thirty-two is a big number. It's shocking what people will do in order to procrastinate.

33. Shia LaBeouf's "Just Do It" Speech.

Listen to Shia and Nike. They know what they are talking about.

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.
