What, like, it's hard?

Finals Week As Told By Elle Woods
Odyssey

I think we can all agree that college is never easy. From managing your insanely busy schedule to just doing the little things, like laundry every other week or feeding yourself, college can stress you out big time. It's hard to go from high school life at home to a college world that is completely outside of your comfort zone and different from the world you left behind. However, there is one part of the semester that is particularly strenuous and leaves you feeling like you've run a hundred marathons by the end of it: finals week.

Finals week can cause you to have a wide range of emotions over just a short amount of time. One day you might be having a stress-induced breakdown, but the next you might be excited from dreaming about your summer plans. Either way, there's always one person who can help you get through the madness that is finals week, and her name is Elle Woods.

Finals week just started and you're telling yourself that this will be the semester that you ace all of your finals. After all, you just have to believe in yourself.

After you finally sit down to study and realize that four hours have already gone by since you promised yourself you were going to start.

As you review your flashcards and notes, you begin to feel confident. You're going to crush this test.

You're so proud of yourself for knowing all of the information from the class. You can link everything together to form a cohesive response to your practice test question.

But after a while, you start to get so stressed and tired of studying. You might even begin to cry.

But Elle is here to tell you that you can't let a test get in the way of your dreams!

After all, how hard could it really be?

Once you're done studying for the night, you go to bed. But not before picking out your test-taking outfit for tomorrow!

It's test day! You sit down and take out all of the things you need to take the test, like your pink, fluffy pen which you use for good luck.

But then you open to the first page of your test and you notice that you know absolutely nothing on the first page. You might start to panic right there in your seat.

You flip through the entire test and realize that the whole test is full of information that your professor did not put on the study guide.

Since you don't know some of the answers to the test, you start to make up information. You even make up where you got it from.


After meandering your way through the maze of awful test questions, you leave the test and don't know what to think. Actually, you don't even want to think about it anymore (even though you secretly still do).

You try not to worry about it too much because you know that no matter what happens, you will always have good friends to get you through the tough times.

As time passes, you get the email saying that your grades are up, so you check your college portal. And you find out that you aced it!

Now it's time to celebrate! Go out and have a great summer! You don't have to worry about finals until next year.

The end is almost near, friends! Keep your chins up, hearts full of hope, and your heads full of useless details about that one lecture exactly 12 and a half weeks ago! May the odds be ever in your favor this finals week.

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.
