When Finals Week Hit, Every College Kid Is As Shameless As Frank Gallagher

From Sunday night to the following Saturday, this week is a journey.

When Finals Week Hit, Every College Kid Is As Shameless As Frank Gallagher
Samantha Chimento

Every semester it's the same cycle: start with your nose to the grindstone and get straight A's, slowly start to fall behind in a few assignments but manage to keep your GPA up. You wind up with a C in every class but remind yourself that C's do get degrees and suddenly finals are right in front of you and you're completely out of steam. We all know that dreadful feeling. It's finals season and there's only one person that can really showcase what we're all feeling during this atrocious time: Frank Gallagher.

1. Sunday Night

When your anxiety sets in after you realize that finals are this week and you can't even remember your own name, what year it is or what school you go to.

2. Monday Morning

There's nothing like preparing for your exams with a steaming cup of anxiety and a spoonful of hopelessness.

3. Tuesday Night

At this rate, you're still cramming for your next couple of finals and can barely make sense of your notes, your professors are M.I.A. on their email and you can't decide whether to eat, study or sleep. Decisions, decisions.

4. Wednesday Afternoon

You're halfway through the week, but you're contemplating not going through with the rest of your finals because you're sick, wallowing in self-pity or have school-o-phobia. It's a real thing (with an actual scientific name), look it up.

5. Thursday Evening

When you're so close to being done with finals and you know in your heart your GPA isn't going to budge, but you still have faith, regardless.

6. Friday after your last final

You've studied for countless hours, cracked open your $200 textbook that hasn't been looked at this entire semester and filled in all the bubbles on your Scantron. Now, it's time to relax.

7. Saturday

Congratulations, you made it. Go out there and shotgun a beer with Chad from Apple Pie Theta to celebrate your success... or your failure. Either way, you took your finals and survived, and that's all that matters.

For everybody taking their finals now, or soon, good luck and go kick some ass. I believe in you and so does Frank Gallagher.

You got this!

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.
