9 Things To Remember At The End Of The Semester
Everypixel

It's that time in the semester where everyone is stressed out, tired, and ready for a break. Finals are approaching. Everyone is struggling to find the motivation to finish their assignments and to go to the library. People are trying to find the time to pack their things up to go home for the summer. While we are stressed about school and packing, we stress about not seeing our friends for 3 months and want to spend the time we do not have with them. Here are some things to remember during dead week and finals week:

1. Go to Class

Unfortunately, some professors do not cancel classes during dead week. If you have those professors make sure that you continue to go to class because you may miss new material or an extra credit opportunity.

2. Schedule

Have a set schedule of when you are going to finish classwork and study. If you have a schedule, make sure you stick to it. Planning when to do things will help you complete everything.

3. Sleep

Although you may feel that you can survive off of Monster, Red Bull, and little food - you can't. You have to sleep. If you are well rested, then you function better. If you sleep, you study and test better.

4. Eat

Remember to eat real food, not just a bag of chips or a candy bar. Eat actual meals. Eat breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day.

5. Study and Read

Study over your notes, previous assignments, and study guides. Make notecards and quiz yourself. Also, read the chapters of your books. Be careful not to overstuff your brain. Do as much as you can handle.

6. Relax and Take Breaks

Take time for yourself. Take a longer shower, watch an episode of your favorite Netflix series, or take a drive. Take time to participate in the end of the year activities like carnivals. Hangout with friends that distance will prevent you from seeing this summer.

7. Take Time to Pack

Remember to pack your things up. Leave out clothes for the library and classes, maybe even a few cute outfits.

8. Return Books

If you rented your textbooks online, make sure to print off the shipping label. Send them back days before they are due, so you do not get charged. If you rented from the bookstore make sure to take them back by the deadline.

9. Don't Stress

It's easier said than done, but try your best not to stress. You will do fine on your exams and your grades will be fine. Try your best and it will be enough.

We are all ready for the semester to be done, let's push through the next few weeks. Enjoy your last few weeks on campus!

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
