Finals Week Told By Our Favorite F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Oh finals week. It's the time of year when college students' checking accounts take a huge blow from buying fast food, Monsters, Red Bulls, and coffee. Everyone is sick and dying and trying to study. Personally, when writing a paper I absolutely hate, or trying to memorize a biological pathway, I find the best study group to be my F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Here are eleven moments on the timeless TV show that anyone who faces finals week can relate to:

1) When you realize finals week has gone from days away to hours away.

Let the meltdowns begin.

2) So you begin to study, thinking it will be a light review. But then you realize you have learned NONE of the material.

Seriously, what is it? The stress? The time since the lessons? Simply not learning it to begin with? Why do finals make everyone go blank?

3) When everyone starts telling you to stop drinking Monsters and coffee, you "need sleep."

There is simply not enough time to sleep, study, and look at articles and memes about finals to reassure yourself that you're not alone in your procrastination. Caffeine is on the list of requirements to survive finals week, as well as chocolate, fast food meals, and potato chips...oh yeah, and you're study notes.

4) You will do anything, and I mean anything, to avoid studying.

Including creating a large poking device to annoy your neighbor. Suddenly, philosophical musings, such as the particular groove the paint makes on the wall, sound unbelievably interesting.

5) On the morning of you're first final, when your parent/roommate/classmate asks how you feel about the upcoming test.

Especially when you hear everyone talking about material you've never heard of. So, as you frantically look through your notes for whatever the heck they're talking about, you realize you've studied the wrong sections, but you have to play it cool cause the final is in five minutes. No? Just me? Okay then.

6) First exam. First question, don't know it so skip to next question. After looking at the whole exam and realizing you know nothing.

"My eyes!"

7) Trying to come up with something that sounds like a good answer for the professor who loves fill in the blank.

I know this. I know this. I know this. Reads the question again. Yeah I don't know this.

8) But you make it all up anyway, and charge through the questions before you can second guess yourself.

When all else fails, go Red Ross on that test.

9) You survived the first day of the week from hell. You deserve a reward, my friend.

Like a bubble bath and wine, for example.

10) And then you realize you have to do it all over again tomorrow.


Please no.

11) But remember, it will be okay. Just train your mind.

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.
