Finals Week as Described by The Librarians
The Librarians Wikia

Ah yes, finals. The bane of the existence of all college students. Thanksgiving break has just finished, the holiday season has begun and....now we're in hell. The workload is a mile high, our GPAs are on the line and yet the only thing we seem to be able to do is procrastinate more and more! And, it seems lately that everyone's favorite pass-time for finals procrastination is writing Odyssey articles about how our favorite TV shows can describe finals week!

Finals week can take down even the best, the brightest and the most enthusiastic about learning. With all that in mind, I decided to use my own favorite show, TNTs The Librarians, to describe finals week. The characters may be the smartest people in the world, but even they can fall victim to the procrastination curse.

So now I present: Finals Week! As described by The Librarians.

(And if you were wondering, yes: I am most definitely writing this article instead of working on my final papers.)

1. Walking around on December 1st

It's December! The Holiday season is upon us and you're dressed in red and jingle bells and ready to do nothing but blast Michael Bublé, go shopping for your friends and bake cookies! Everything seems to be right with the world until....

2. Realizing how much work you have


Denial. So much denial.

3. Getting Organized


There is a lot of work to do so of course you have to plan it all out. You devise a color coded schedule complete with work and break times, and your work space is lined up with highlighters, pens and the like.

4. Getting Motivated


You can do this. You know you can do this. This semester will not take you down. You're not going to procrastinate, you're going to follow your schedule and get everything done and get some sleep too. You're going to come out with all As and bust your butt without fail so then you can freely revel in the holiday season when it's all over.

5. Starting to write your first paper


Everything's going great. You're on a roll! You're going to ace this! Look at you sitting down and writing that paper! Look at that killer opening sentence!

6. And immediately giving up


How much could it reallyhurt to put things off a little longer anyway?

7. Ignoring all your responsibilities to go out with your friends


What's life without a little fun after all? And it would be rude to turn down an invitation.

8. Feeling great as you forget everything that's due in the next 2 weeks


9. Getting home and realizing what a horrible idea that was as you drown in work again


Nope. Nope nope nope nope. There are still 5 papers to write why on earth did you ever think it was a good idea to put this off?

10. Your friends motivate you to get that work done


You are stronger than these tests. You are stronger than that 90s sitcom they just added to Netflix...

11. But somehow it just ends in lamenting how you're both going to flunk out


12. Your friends show up with coffee and you think maybe you just need a quick break


Coffee helps you study right?

13. That 5 minute break turns into a 2 hour feast at the dining hall


Because after all, you deserve that break after writing one sentence of your 10 page paper.

14. Watching a movie after dinner


Because it's not fair to just start working right away after dinner. That can't be healthy. Why not relax with a movie?! Or two....or three.

15. Having a mental breakdown as you realize it's been a week and you've done nothing


"How did it come to this again? How could I let the work pile up this bad?"

16. Staying up all night to finish your first paper because you've run out of options


17. Everyone who got sleep last night wondering if you're finished yet


"Just one more final touch and I'll be ready to turn it in."

18. Your friends are concerned for your health when they ask you how many hours of sleep you've gotten this week


19. You turn in your first paper and it's finally done and your friends are actually questioning your sanity

"No; not especially."

20. Having yet another breakdown when you realize how much work there still is to do


"HOW CAN THERE STILL BE MORE WORK TO DO? I CAN'T GO THROUGH ALL THAT AGAIN!"

21. Friends assuring you that you're not going to fail


22. Giving up on your GPA and watching The Librarians instead!


We all knew it was gonna end up here anyway.

Okay, but in all seriousness, good luck on finals everyone! I'd tell you to stop reading this and do your work, but we all know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

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.
