Finals Week, As Told By Mindy Lahiri
Lovelace Media

Finals week is dreaded by all. You start off the semester pretending it doesn't exist, but then it hits you like a freight train. It never matters if you're taking an easy semester or if you're grades are already where you need them. Finals week is when you re-evaluate all your life choices leading up to the actual exams, and probably for a few hours (or days) after.

1. You realize that finals are just around the corner.


2. Your parents are concerned about your grades.

3. But everything is just fine, because you have a plan.


You convince yourself that, for once in your college career, you have your life together for this finals week. This finals week will be different than the last time.

4. You try to start studying ahead of time.

You mean to study for that biology final, but instead you've found out that munchkin cats are a thing.

5. You're also trying to comfort your friends through this trying time.

This is a time to be kind to everyone on campus, because we're all in the same boat.

6. You try the whole "dress well, test well" thing.

Maybe your life is falling apart at the seams, but at least you look great ... and have a better chance at finding a Sugar Daddy...

7. But most days, the general public is lucky if you put pants on at all.


8. There is not enough food in the world to drown your sorrows in.

Dear sir making my nachos at Qdoba, I'm going to need ALL of the cheese today.

9. You've completely given up on going to the gym at this point in the semester.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

10. You've also just given up on life.

You lay on the floor and contemplate writing your will instead of studying. You figure your will is probably more useful at this point.

11. You briefly consider your other options.

If you have never done this, you're lying. Or you're doing something very right, and I need you to tell me your secrets.

12. Just remember, you can do this.

It's one week. One truly awful week, but you can get through this. Just remember, pain is temporary, but GPA is forever. No pressure.

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.
