39 Things You Think During Midterms Week
Her Campus at Oregon

It's that time of the year: MIDTERMS. The time of the semester when it seems like everything is due at once. The time of the semester when you have so much to do you don't even know where to start. Its a tough time, but hey, at least it sucks for pretty much everyone.

Here's just a few things that have gone through my mind this week:

1. Why did I take all of these classes at the same time?

2. How bad would it be if I dropped this class?

3. Do I REALLY need this class to graduate?

4. If I fail this test can I still pass the class?

5) WHAT WAS I THINKING TAKING THESE CLASSES AT THE SAME TIME?

6. What GPA do I have to have to keep Zell miller/ hope/ my scholarships?

7. Does this professor know that this isn't the only class I'm taking?

8. Maybe I should just drop out and become a nun/monk.

9. Wow I suck at this, maybe I should I should switch my major...

10....but I can't because I suck more at everything else...

11. ...but what if I don't...

12. ...FOCUS PLEASE BRAIN THANK YOU

13. Why can't I remember this crap, I feel like I haven't attended a day of class.

14. Where was my brain when we learned this?

15. I'm still pretty and funny, at least I have that...

16. ...right?

17. Gosh, I should've recorded these lectures, my notes suck...

18. ... heck I can't even read my own notes.

19. Maybe I can just quit, find a man, and become a housewife and a mother. (sorry guys, y'all don't quite have this option)

20. OMG PUPPY VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK!

21. OMG why did I spend so much time watching puppy videos on Facebook

22. HOW IS ALL OF THIS STUFF DUE IN THE SAME WEEK, ARE YOU JOKING???

23. I hate school.

24. Woah, how are the bags under my eyes that dark...?

25. My brain has reached its absorptive capacity.

26. I literally can't learn anything else.

27. What does any of this mean?

28. HIT ME WITH A CAR SO I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY MIDTERMS

29. Should I study this marathon style or break it up over a few days?

30. Why did I wait this long to review this stuff?!

31. (Trying to speak English) La promlens stans..... Wait that wasn't even English... or any language I know...

32. Ahh so many things to do but I'm so tired but I can't shut my brain off so I can sleep...

33. Wait did we even learn this? What is this, Russian?

34. How much coffee does it take to die of a caffeine overdose, because I'm getting pretty close I think!

35. Am I supposed to know when my panic attacks are coming? How can you tell?

36. (Panic attack comes)

37. (Tears and mutterings)

38. (Panic attack ends) glad that's over, now back to work!

39. Is it Friday yet?

Okay, yes, I'm over exaggerating a little bit (except kinda not really). At the end of the day, you're going to be fine. It's a tough week, but it helps knowing that it'll will pass and everything will be fine no matter how well you do. It's a comfort to know that you're not the only one swamped.

I hope every college student reading this did well on their exams and that they found some roses among the thorns!

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.

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.
