How (NOT) to Study
Natasha's Iphone Pics

With midterms upon us the stress and pressure of college life is once again upon us and with the start of spring break only a short week away it makes attempting to study for midterms even more difficult. This week i set aside an evening to get some serious studing done, and this is how it went....

4:00PM- Set out notebooks, textbooks, study notes and blank flashcards

4:30PM- realize I won’t be able to properly study without some snacks

4:45PM- I drive to the mini-mart and purchase Mountain Dew and Cheese Puffs

5:00 PM- Return from store and consume study snacks

5:15PM- Realize my hands are covered in cheese dust and I need to wash my hands in the bathroom so I don’t get my notes all cheesy

5:30PM- While washing my hands realize how spotty the bathroom merrier is

5:45PM- Clean the bathroom mirror, then realize how dirty the rest of the bathroom now looks in comparison to the super clean mirror

6:00PM- 9:00PM After I cleaned the entire bathroom I decided I might as well clean the rest of my apartment since I have all of my cleaning supplies out.

9:15 PM I look at the clock and realize how late it is already. I need to start to study.

9:20PM- 1:00AM Decided to turn the TV on for some background noise while studying. Crack textbook open, end up only paying attention to Netflix for several hours

1:15AM- Finish an entire season of some stupid show. Realize once again how late it is and that I still haven’t started studying

1:30 AM spend several minutes freaking out at how little time I now have left to study

2:00AM Decide I’m too tired to have any meaningful studying done at this hour

2:30AM Lay in bed staring at celling wondering how I wasted so much time not studying

5:00AM – Startled awake by a bad dream about failing a midterm because I didn’t study

5:15 AM- Make and drink four cups of coffee

5:30AM- Decide to once again attempt studying

5:45AM- realize my cat is fast asleep on my closed textbook

6:00 AM- Take several picture cute pictures of cute cat sleeping on assignments and send them on snapchat

6:30AM Decide you’ll apologize to the cat and push her off your books

7:00 AM decide to drive to school to get some studying done

7:30 AM Stop at Dunkin Donuts and get an extra-large French-vanilla iced-coffee

8:00 AM- Get to school and decide to check e-mail before I start studying

8:15 AM Read an email from the professor reminding us that this midterm has been postponed until after spring break

8:16AM- Smile

8:30 AM drive back home to go back to bed

4:00 PM remember you have several other midterms that are still this week. I get out my no0tebooks and textbooks and index cards

The End

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.

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.
