6 Things I'd Rather Be Doing Than Studying For Finals Told By Christmas Music

"YOU’RE A MEAN ONE, MR.FINAL’S, YOU ‘RE AS CHARMING AS AN EEL"

1.) Sleeping

“SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE”
Yes, we know nobody ever goes to bed early in college but when it comes to finals you could be up for days at a time, not even studying. You could enjoy a nice movie, karaoke hour or even snacking away with your roommate.

2.) Watching the 25 Days of Christmas

“IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.”

From The Polar Express to Elf and everything in between, re-watching these movies 100 times sounds a heck of a lot better than even opening your biology notebook or doing practice problems for stats.

3.) Going back home early

“THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAY’S”

There’s nothing quite like that smell of fresh baked cookies and Christmas trees when you walk into your house after being away for so long ( and for so long, I mean 2 weeks). I’d rather be spending time with my family than understanding Psychology 101 because one month of vacation just doesn’t seem long enough.

4.) Going on adventures and looking at Christmas lights

“A ’54 CONVERTIBLE TOO, LIGHT BLUE”

There are so many cute little towns in New Hampshire that are decorated and so pretty to walk the main street and see so many different trees and fronts of stores all decorated with Christmas cheer. Sometimes I think these lights are brighter than my future but these thoughts will subside as soon as finals are over.

5.) Playing games with my friends

“THEY NEVER LET POOR RUDOLPH JOIN IN ANY REINDEER GAMES.”

Well thank god I am not a reindeer because I love to play games with my friends. These types of games can vary from game pigeon on my iPhone to card games and they can relieve so much stress by just being around people who make you feel happy.

6.) Spending time with my friends who also procrastinate

“FAITHFUL FRIENDS WHO ARE SO DEAR TO US, GATHER NEAR TO US ONCE MORE” Enjoy spending time with your friends at college for the time you have because soon it will be Christmas break and you won’t see them for a month. These friends aren't like any other because they understand the struggles of finals and want you to succeed but they want to have a good time and go out with a bang.

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.
