Finals Week, According To "Friends"

So no one told you finals was going to be this way.

Finals week feels like it will never end, with constantly having tests to study for and increasing stress and anxiety about what the week brings. Although one week is such a short period of time, within those days students face several emotions and thoughts. Being so close to being done can cause ranging emotions within students, as by this point in the school year most are ready to just finish classes and be done with them. According to "Friends" here are how most students are feeling with finals week just around the corner:

1. When your friends ask you to help them study

You barely want to study for your own classes, so you can't imagine how well you would be able to help them with theirs.

2. When you try to ignore your responsibilities


You know that you have to get things done, but you just don't have the motivation. We've done this work all year, why would we have to prove that we know what we're doing? We just push off our responsibilities until the very last second.

3. When you realize how many finals you actually have

You've tried not to think too much about your classes or finals week in general, but since finals week has arrived it's a good idea to check. But once you find out you can't believe that your teachers could be so cruel and ask you to know so much. What did you ever do to them?

4. When stress-eating hits

You know that you shouldn't eat as much as you are but you just can't help it. Your emotions are all over the place and there is so much that you have to do in such little time. What better thing to do then eat?

5. When you're in denial about finals

You're really not fine, but you'd like to have others believe that you are. Maybe if we say it enough times we'll start to believe it.

6. When one of your finals is early in the morning

Really, these teachers are just setting you up for a disaster. Any final before 9 a.m. is just not a good idea. Do they really think that you'll be functioning that early for such a big test?

7. When other people tell you how many finals they have

We get it, we all have finals. Whenever someone tells us how they have less than we do we hate them for it. Could we be you? Please. The less finals, the better.

8. When you finally have to take your finals

Writing down your name is the hardest part, because the time has come to see all of the questions that the professors expect you to know. Can we just not? Finals are your nightmare, but unlike others you cannot just wake up to escape it.

9. When you finished finals week

Freedom. So, so, so much freedom.


Finals are hard, but your "Friends" are in the same boat. You'll get through it.

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.
