7 Best Ways to Cope With Finals Week In College

Finals week(s) are definitely, without a doubt, the toughest part of the semester for us college kids. With all the stress and fatigue that comes with the preparation of these rigorous- maybe even impossible- exams, I've decided to share some of the coping techniques I've been using to get through the horrendous pain of studying all this useless information. Enjoy!

1. Slam your head on your desk!

Don't do this just once. That won't be effective enough. Try it at a minimum of 7 times per hour for best results. This will for sure distract you from your work and possibly even give you a headache! A headache is always a great excuse to stop studying and take a nap.

2. Throw your laptop at a brick wall!

Try completing assignments or studying without a laptop! It'll be almost impossible! This way, you'll avoid studying efficiently and will have more time to binge watch reality TV and refresh Twitter on your phone constantly for no reason at all. These are more productive uses of your time!

3. Party all night every night of the week!

What better way is there to forget about all your responsibilities than going out for a night of partying! Forget studying, that's not what college is really about! Go out with some friends until 4 a.m. and make sure to participate in illegal activities and make terrible decisions. You'll have great stories to tell your children in the future. Who wants to tell their future son or daughter about all the time they spent studying? Also, if you already completed the first two steps this step should be a piece of cake!

4. Sleep all day!

After a full night of partying you're probably going to be exhausted! It's important to catch up on your rest, even if that means missing all your classes. Attending class is just a suggestion, anyway. Make sure to avoid asking your classmates for notes or important information you may have missed; that'll just stress you out! Just pretend like the class never happened and go back to sleep.

5. Shred all your notes!

Forget notes! Whenever you look at them it probably reminds you of the demon known as academics. Once you shred them, they're gone for good! You'll no longer have to be reminded of dumb classes and jerk professors.

6. Throw all your remaining school supplies into a large body of water!

If you attend a school near the beach, lucky you! This step will be easy for you. Just simply toss all binders, planners, pens, pencils, etc into the ocean. This way all your supplies will be ruined and your chances of getting it back are slim to none! How awesome is that? This strategy ensures stress-free results and guarantees a 0% chance that you will be able to effectively study for your finals! Woohoo!

7. Give up!

Once you've completed the previous 6 steps, you're ready for the final one. In this step, just completely give up and move back in with your parents. Withdraw yourself from the school you attend and just simply never return! How great does that sound! No better way to avoid finals than dropping out of college! This has been proven to be the 100% most effective way to not take your final exams! How amazing!

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.

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.
