7 Things Every College Student Does Towards the End of the Semester

As the semester is coming to a close, almost every college student is going through the same stress yet excitement that their classes are almost over. In the next few weeks, here are a few things that every college student is doing to prepare for the semester ending.

1. Contemplating going to almost every single class, every single day.

We've all had those days where it seems impossible to get out of bed and go to class, but as the semester is ending we find ourselves having these days more and more often. Even while walking to class we find ourselves thinking, "Do I really have to go?"

2. Calculating the scores you would need to receive on a final exam in order to get the final grade you want.

Since finals are right around the corner, most college students are busy calculating every possible score they can get on a final exam just to ensure that they either pass the class or get a final grade that they need. This could possibly the most frustrating and anxious feeling before the semester ends.

3. Think of all the careers that DON'T require a college education.

Stress levels can rise beyond belief around finals, so dropping out of college seems like a good choice to almost every student during this time.

4. Crying every day because you're broke, stressed, and starving.

By the end of the semester all of that money you've saved up is gone and all that is left to eat is dining hall food or soup and we all know how gross that can be.

5. Showing up to class in your sweat pants and bed head because you literally do not care anymore.

We already can't be bothered with school, why should we be bothered with our appearances?

6. Stressing about how stressed you are.

We've all reached that point where we have thought, "This amount of stress can't be good. Should I get help?" And then think about all the other things that are wrong with us, adding even more stress.

7. Don't believe me? Check this out.


Overall, every college student will experience these things more than once during their college careers. It only gets harder and harder but in the end it is completely worth it.

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.
