5 Ways Fight Club Accurately Describes Finals Week
Fox Films

Finals week(s) are one of the most terrible times of the year. Thank goodness it is only two weeks out of the year. You had the class for a semester, but nothing can prepare you for a five page, cumulative French exam that you know that you can only ever get a C on because the teacher hates you. Okay, maybe I had a very stressful finals week.

Regardless, those few days of finals can make you feel like you had an emotional beating with every classroom you walked into. Maybe sometimes instead of emotionally beating yourself, you felt like physically beating up someone else... Anyways, I can't really talk about it because the first and second rule is to not talk about it, but here is how it accurately describes finals week:

1. You can't really tell if you are asleep or awake

Sometimes that studying gets so long and so late, you can feel as though you've reached some transcendent state between asleep and awake. All you want to do is sleep, but there's just one more powerpoint that you feel you need to go over.

2. You feel that more pain is more gain

The less sleep you get, the less talking with your friends, the less senseless snapchats means better grades. Of course, better grades means better job, better wife, better house, better car. You know the process.

3. When you're not studying for finals, you don't talk about finals

If you're lucky enough to have a break, which are few and far between, you don't want to think about the beast you are about to face. You want to sit there and watch those Logan Paul videos in peace.

4. You've considered alternative ways to get out of taking your finals

Whether it was going into their office and convincing your professor to not giving you a final, faking a death in the family, or getting on the next flight out of there, you've thought of what are ways you could get out of it.

5. You've doubted your religion

You've seriously considered if our Supreme Overlord would put you through Dante's Inferno.


Hopefully, everyone's finals went well and if you're going through them right now or soon, may the odds be ever in your favor. For now, take a break, browse Odyssey and not realize that 3 hours have passed, and watch Fight Club.

Peace.

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.

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.
