Finals Week as Explained by Gossip Girl
Twitter


As many of you know, this is my last article as an undergraduate. Yes, I am graduating. I couldn't be happier. By the time you encounter this article, it will seven or six days until commencement. What does that mean? Right now, as excited as we are, this is finals week and we all want to die. No, this time I will not be blaming "13 Reasons Why." It is Finals' fault. The good part is that those who know me also know how I cope: writing. Specially listicles. This one in particular is a reminder of what I love. "Law and Order" you are probably saying. Besides that, another one of my loves includes "Gossip Girl." You know that show where teenagers would live a lavish illegal lifestyles? Yeah. That was Gossip Girl. And I thought I could use this masterpiece to laugh at ourselves during finals week.

1- When the Professor leaves all final assignments for the same day as the exam.

You don't know how to react. So you just smile. Bend over. And take it. Thanks, Blair.

2- When that last lecture really gets to you.

Honestly, if you are going to read off the slides, we should not be here. You can just send us the power point. Georgina gets it.

3- Asking for extra credit.

We all have been there.

4- And when they don't give it to you.

Dear, professors. Thanks for nothing. I will see you in that summer class.

5- Then they hit you with that cold, and hard truth.

Because at the end you know what you did. You threw it all away.

6-Knowing damn well that you procrastinated all semester.

And unfortunately, unlike Jenny, there is no knight in shining armor named Nate to come and save us.

7-But it's okay, because you are a fighter.


*Gives himself pep talk in the mirror.*

8- When it gets too overwhelming and you need other cope mechanisms.

I heard Vodka does wonders to memory.

9- And when people don't seem to understand.

We are just worried about you, Vanessa.

10- Going home after that first study session.

I walk these empty streets on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams....

11- Finding enough will power to keep studying at home.

Let's face it: studying at home is hard. With so many distractions, you've made it. So far.

12- Doing well in the first final.

And coming to the realization that you did it all on your own. Because you've change. Good for you. Good for us.

13- Losing all fear in the middle of the week.

Goodbye, Felicia.

14- Coming to the realization that some of your professors may not like you as a person...

And that is okay. Your relationship with them should not interfere with your performance. Because the best revenge is doing better than they thought.

15- Looking at your last final like...


You know you nailed it.

16- And finally? Graduation.

It's bittersweet. Whether you are walking or not, you are saying goodbye to some friends. It will be okay.

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.

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.
