Finals Week

The one finals week I can actually procrastinate and do nothing, and not feel bad about it.

Finals Week
The Daily Pennsylvanian

Finals week, the week of all-nighters, too much coffee, enough red bull to make you sick, procrastination, considerations of dropping out, and many mental break downs at the lib. I've always seemed to get the short end of the stick when it came to my finals schedule. I'd have an organic chemistry final (death), followed by biochemistry (dead), and then to top it off, I'd have a presentation (tears). I'd tell myself I would prepare early to reduce my stress and increase my sleep intake throughout the week, but of course, that never happened (lol oops). Also, sophomore year I didn't see finals week as being that bad, so I made the wonderful decision of going out a few times (again, lol). All in all, I really just lose my shit come finals week. But finally, in my last year, the true finals week here at Madison has been pretty relaxed.

Finals week at UW-Madison just began yesterday and for the first time in the four years I've been here I am not stressed out. I am currently taking seven courses, so why am I not stressed out?! Well to start off, my finals week was last week. So last week was hell for me. I find it funny that all my professors (I get it, you're trying to be nice and have finals spread out) made the final exams a week early. I mean yeah, now I feel great because I'm pretty much done (except for my pilates final which isn't really a final). So now this week, when everyone is stressing out and dying at the lib I will be binge watching Netflix and I have never been more excited.

Currently finishing up American Horror Story (obsessed) and may have watched a few episodes of Black Mirror (w.t.f) so that'll keep me busy while everyone else is trying to survive the worst week of the semester in this absurd weather (high of -2, feels like -35 really Wisco).

With that being said, I have a lot of Netflix-watching to do and a bowl of popcorn at my side. Good luck with studying and may that curve ever be in your favor (and if not, lol start crying).

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.
