The Countdown To Summer, As Told By GIFs

As we near the end of the semester and the school year comes to a close, summer's never looked better. Congrats, everyone! We've made it to the homestretch. However, the last few days before summer seem to drag on and on... From those last few presentations, essays and final exams, school is pretty much torture by the last month. So here's the never-ending countdown to summer, as told by GIFs.

T-Minus 25 Days:

By this point, spring break is long gone and the next break you're going to get is summer. After two semesters worth of work, you're burnt out and all you want to worry about is whether or not you have aloe for your sunburn.

20 Days:

Despite your lack of motivation, the presentations, papers and tests start to suffocate you and every time you think you're done, another project rears its ugly head.

15 Days:

With finals just around the corner, you're slowly beginning to realize you need to start preparing for what is your impending doom.

10 Days:

You probably haven't even attempted to start studying yet because the thought of doing so makes you nauseous.

7 Days:

With one week left, it's time to start cramming, but you don't even know where to begin studying because you don't know what you don't know.

6 Days:

Sleep deprivation is at an all-time high.

5 Days:

You're losing steam and with five days left, you can't quite justify quitting, but all the work you're doing seems pointless and counterproductive.

4 Days:

As your exhaustion begins to catch up with you and your eyes burn from all the studying you've been doing, you contemplate your sanity and how your brain hasn't turned into goo yet.

3 Days:

It's pretty much safe to say if you don't know it now, you're never going to know it. You've been non-stop cramming and you've reached your study capacity, so now it's time to tap out and accept whatever grade you get.

2 Days:

As you start to pack up your things and get ready to move out, you've never been more ready to get home and kiss your responsibilities goodbye for a few months.

1 Day:

With 24 hours left, you're so close to making it and the only thing standing in your way is one final. The finish line is in sight, but this last mile has never felt more torturous.

0 Days:

We made it! With no choice but to accept your final grades, you're all packed up and ready to head home. Despite some stressful days leading up to it, summer is finally here, and it's time to trade in your backpack for a beach bag. Remember to enjoy 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.
