Finals suck but staring mindlessly at a Netflix series doesn't.

5 Things I Would Rather Do Than Study For Finals

It's Finals Time! Break is less than two weeks away and that is all that is on any college kid's mind. Well, that, and the fact that there are up to 5 finals standing in the way of freedom. Trust me, I know that no one likes to study for their finals and I know that seeing family, friends, celebrations, and pets are all way more enticing than that French final you have to get at least a B on. We are all there with you and can definitely feel your pain. Everyone dreams that our professor will magically cancel our final or give us all A's, but we know that won't happen. That is why I made a list of 5 things I would rather do than study for finals because we can all wish right?

1. SLEEP

I am positive that a 24 hour nap is something I would much rather do than study for my Economics final. I don't care about the day I miss out on or any activities. A nice long long nap is all I am asking for.

2. Binge-Watching Netflix

No, I don't want to go to the library for 8 hours and study. I just want to sit in my bed all day and binge watch Vampire Diaries or Gossip Girl. I would rather watch Chuck and Blair break up for the 6th time than learn about another element on the periodic table.

3. Online Shop

$125.59 + FREE SHIPPING? Sign me up!! I would rather go broke at this moment right now than go to that study group. Yeah, yeah grades are good for me to make a lot of money in the future but WHATEVER, did you not see the FREE SHIPPING?!

4. Eating My Weight In Junk Food

Goldfish, Pretzels, Pizza, Cookies, Ice Cream, and 10 pounds of popcorn. Yeah, I think that gaining the Freshman 15 in one Finals week is way better than researching the reasons why global warming is affecting the glaciers. Who needs science when you have junk food to explain anatomy to you?

5. Watching Cute Animal Videos Until I Adopt a Cat That I Can't Afford

You cannot be honest and say that you don't stop what you are doing when you see a puppy chasing it's own tail or kittens fitting into a tiny bowl video. That is just un-American. Spending hours on hours sharing and replaying these adorably cute videos until you find no recollection of running to the nearest shelter to buy a cat you can't afford is way better than attending that tutoring session with your professor, duh.


In all seriousness Finals just plain suck. I would rather do any of these things than actually study. But, since we live in a world that requires you to take them and pass college in order to be successful at most things in life I guess we won't be spending our time online shopping or sleeping. I hope everyone does well on their finals and heads to the library after reading this because those cute animal videos are coming for you.

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.
