It's that crazy time of the (school) year. Everyone has made lasting fun memories during the spring break and have returned back to the campuses fully tanned and not well-rested. Unfortunately, the happy bubble of vacations and sleeping until noon is popped by the next few weeks that will eventually end in finals.

So, with the help of some Parks and Recs gifs, here are the 8 stages of prepping for Finals Week

1. Relaxation based on delusions.

It's easy to tell yourself you still have five more weeks until you actually have to start worrying about exams but before you know it, those weeks can quickly turn into four, then three until the next thing you know it's a week away from Finals and you have gotten nothing done. But don't fret, everyone's been there which means you can easily rely on friends to help with last minute cramming.

2. Having no motivation to study.

Unfortunately, people don't seem to understand that you can physically be unable to have motivation to study and so they just say you're being lazy. It's a real thing people!

3. Going to tutoring...

4. ...Even though you know you don't process anything.

5. Failing at group studying because someone is always goofing off.

Sometimes you're Chris and sometimes you're Andy. Whichever one you are, don't forget that it is possible to have fun in group study sessions, as long as you remember to keep each other focused and on task.

6. Having a panic attack during the exam...

7. ...Then just not caring after the exam.

At this point, stress is a waste of energy and time. Once the test is turned in, that's it. Worrying won't change your answers so don't even bother.

8. Living life afterwards.

However your exams go this final season, just remember a paper test does not define you as a person. College (and just school in general) is really freaking hard, and you should be proud you've made it this far. So keep doing you and just remember that your hard work will pay off with a fun future!

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.
