Finals Week, As Told By "Moulin Rouge"

Everything is just "Spectacular, Spectacular."

Finals Week, As Told By "Moulin Rouge"

Summer is right around the corner, you can practically taste it. The only thing standing in between you and the beach is the dreaded finals week. A time where your soul leaves your body and you take up residence in the library. Sleep becomes non-existent and coffee becomes your only caloric intake.

Moulin Rouge accurately depicts all of us college students' struggles during this never-ending week such as....

1. Trying To Figure Out Where The Semester Went

Where did the time go? Why aren't there any more grades to help boost my average? Is it too late to go back in time?

2. Trying To Convince Yourself It's All Going To Be OK

It's fine. It is all fine.

3. Trying To Get An Extension On A Paper

Putting off that paper to the last possible moment may not have been your best idea, especially on top of exams. Oops. At this point, singing to your teacher may be the only way to get that extension.

4. After Another All-Nighter In The Library

Break is oh so close. Soon you'll be able to escape all of this madness and rejoin the world outside, but that day is not today...

5. When You Can No Longer Fight Back The Tears

Once they come, there is no stopping. But hey, at least you still have enough of a soul to cry right?

6. When You Get That Final Grade Back

Well, that escalated quickly.

7. Waking Up And Realizing The Amount Of Studying You Have Ahead Of You

It's easy to forget about all the responsibilities that lie ahead of you in your sleep, but the panic starts to set in the minute you wake up.

8. Trying To Rationalize Your Lack Of Desire To Study

Can I switch my major to love?

9. Seeing The Exam And Realizing You Studied All The Wrong Material

Memorizing the cardiovascular system turned out just to be for fun because there was not even one question on it. Oh what joy.

10. The Endless Hours Spent Trying To Figure Out How Poorly You Can Do On An Exam In Order To Pass The Class

The odds are not in your favor, so hopefully the curve will be. Is it too late to quit school?

11. When That Topic The Professor Said Wouldn't Be On The Exam Shows Up Anyway

Did you really just do that? I don't think so.

12. When You Briefly Think You Have Everything Under Control And Know All Of The Material

Oh, there's another page to the study guide? Well, didn't see that one coming.

13. When You Are Finally Done


You are done. You are free. But what does one do with all of this free time?

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.
