Finals Week As Told By "Friends"

"I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too."

Finals Week As Told By "Friends"
Huffington Post

It is fairly common knowledge within the college world that finals week is probably the most dreaded time of the year. As it is also very close to Christmas, you may hear the lifeless voice of a college student drearily singing, "It's the most stressful time of the year." Here is a small chuckle for you in the midst of all the tears.

1. When the professor presents an entirely new topic the day before the final.

Of course professors are still going over new information the day before the final. How are we expected to retain all of this?

2. The standard disposition when going to a final.

Are finals really necessary? I mean failing seems like a reasonable alternative.

3. To whoever is responsible for scheduling finals the Friday before break.

One final on Tuesday, two on Wednesday and one on Friday at 3 p.m. You could have gone home Wednesday if it weren't for that one Friday final.

4. When your friends aren't stressing about finals.

Whether they don't have difficult courses or just don't care, that one friend who doesn't panic should be fired.

5. The reaction upon seeing the final exam slide onto your desk. Panic slowly transitions to melting into a puddle on the floor.

The sight of the packet itself is enough to make a grown man cry. I would rather cry on the floor and fail the exam than attempt to complete it.

6. When literally everything is due right after Thanksgiving, because finals.

Checking your planner to see what is due when you return from Thanksgiving break and realizing very quickly that every assignment and its mother is due the day classes resume.

7. You have resigned yourself to the inevitable, finals cannot and will never go well.

It's fine. Everything is fine.

8. Stress eating.

Finals week is the prime time to eat all of the comfort foods. (And drink all of the coffee.)

9. Correcting everyone because studying for an ungodly number of hours tends to make one feel as if they know everything.

On top of being irritable due to sleep deprivation, everyone is 5x more arrogantly knowledgeable than usual.

10. When all of your friends have finished their finals and you have two more.

Okay, so basically we all agree that finals week is worse than jumping out of a plane with a malfunctioning parachute. In light of this, I wish you all the best of luck. Hydrate, eat a nutritious diet and don't stay up all night studying.

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.
