Finals Are Here And It Will Be Okay

It's time for a much needed break.

Finals Are Here And It Will Be Okay
Olivia Stone

Whether you're a freshman or a senior with four years of experience, hell week is here and you better be ready to handle it.

I've been working on finals for a solid day and a half now and here I sit avoiding the rest of my projects. I may only have one actual final, but gosh darn it, I'm going to give you tips for finals week.

You'll become so stressed that you'll sit on your bed and watch your roommate write the unit circle on her whiteboard for fun. Or, that will be a method of procrastination. You have to be able to find something to destress and have fun with. It's important to take breaks so you don't become overwhelmed.

Stay organized. Write down when things are due, in multiple locations. Otherwise you'll forget when you have something due or a final to take. Highlighters and Post-Its will be your best friends.

Make yourself go to bed at a decent hour. If you stay up for all hours of the night, you won't perform well on your finals. Eat a good breakfast too. Thankfully, here we have a midnight breakfast the night before our study day at midnight. Our professors even serve the meal to us!

Enjoy the time with your roommate. You'll be gone from her in a week for a month. That's a month without pillow fights, random laughing fits, and awkwardly staring at each other once you both wake up for class.

It's okay to look forward to your time at home, but it's also okay to look forward to coming back to school. I always miss my bed when I'm at school, but I always miss how clean my room actually stays at school when I'm home.

Congratulations! You've made it this far and you can go further. Good luck on finals! Strive for the best!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
