How Finals Can Ruin The Holidays
Brian Wu

Fall quarter finals are just placed on the worst days. It's pretty much winter break, why can't we sit back, relax, and enjoy it. Instead, we got finals to stress out about and to kill the mood. The holidays are for rejoicing and eating like conquerors.

After Thanksgiving break comes Christmas. Before everyone leaves for break, you and your friends want to plan Friendsmas. Only problem is that everyone is busy studying for finals and finishing up on projects. No one has time to be cooking and spending time on the food instead of studying. You also can't make time to hang out with friends before the holidays since everyone has different schedules and different final times.

The stress gets to you and prevents you from effing enjoying your friends' company. Let's be real, the only people who can enjoy finals week like they want to are the people who aren't worried about their classes. They can get drunk, with the new law, get high, go out and have whatever fun they'd like. Good for all y'all, seriously. But we still got school to focus on and pray we don't fail that class we're only studying the night before for.

The stress kills the holiday spirit because all we can think about is finals. We can't be wasting our brain power on future holiday plans and effing Christmas presents. Trying to think of a good Christmas present will take up so much more time than you will think. You will tell yourself, "Oh, I can think of the right presents no problem. It can't be too hard. I'd like to say I know my family pretty well". Now some people do know their family very well, so good on you guys for being great a great family members, but for the rest of us, we be struggling.

The holidays are for enjoying yourself but its kinda hard to when you got stress hanging over your head. Finals are so important but such a nuisance. Hopefully everyone has studied hard and can get through it so good luck everybody and happy holidays!

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.
