We're not the only ones who need to pass exams.

Finals Week As Told By Community

Finals just in general: Emotions are just all over the place with students staying up late and not getting enough sleep to students stressing over back to back exams in the same day.


Realizing how much procrastination you have done the entire semester: It happens to the best of us, and it's time to realize that you left those 5 online quizzes to be due at the last possible second.


Drinking coffee with extra expresso the night before your early morning exam-


-But getting that 10 page paper done: I had to get extra expresso in my coffee to keep me awake until 5 AM to read a book and write a ten page paper that I procrastinated on in order to turn it in on time.


Opening your books for the first time this semester: Although I have never done it, I saw a guy sitting in the Johnson Center opening the plastic wrap of one of his books the Sunday before finals week. Good luck to him.


Trying to study last minute: It is always good to cover the basics.


Taking a study break: I know I need these, especially to throwbacks.


Walking into your exam like: After a good few nights of studying, there's that confident feeling -


-But then seeing the first question: I know I cannot be the only one who has looked at the first question and said to myself, "God help me."


When the person next to you flips to the next page and you're still on question three: It gives you that anxiety that you're behind and need to stop spending so much time on reading the options for question three.


And then your professor gives you that five minute mark: I hate and love being reminded of how much time I have left. Hate it because I know I'm slow at taking tests, but love it because I know I need to finish, and fast.


Seeing a question word for word on the exam from the study guide: Such a reassuring feeling to see familiar territory.


Misreading the date of the exam: I've only done this once, and let me tell you, it is not fun. Be prepared to drop everything and pay attention to that subject for a while.


Stepping out of the room after you finish your exam: After all that studying, you are finally free and it is time to just let it all out.


Knowing you and your friend passed the exam: Knowing you passed is always a great feeling but being able to celebrate with your friend is even better.


When all you want to do is think of the Holidays: My parents are sending me picture of the house being decorated and the tree with lights, and I just have to sit in my room and study.


But most impertinent one of all, getting through finals and the semester with your friends

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
