It's one of the most stressful times of year for any college student: midterm week. Not quite the pressure of finals and not quite the same amount of study time, but the same amount of stress. There are a plethora of exams, papers, and projects to fill all of the hours of your week and to drive you insane. The work and stress seem endless, so it is so hard to enjoy yourself and have positive morale.

While I am a college student myself, so I am no expert on dealing with stress, these are some helpful times that have helped me during this stressful time of year.

1. Study with friends.

While you may not be productive 100% of the time it makes you feel a little better that you have people to struggle with. Grab some snacks and hit your favorite study spot with your favorite people are you are set.

2. Bring snacks.

There is nothing better than rewarding yourself to popcorn, chips, or candy after outlining a page or writing a paragraph and celebrating the little victories. Snacks make studying significantly more manageable.

3. Take a few breaks

Studying for many hours straight is not fun nor is it beneficial for productivity. Taking small breaks here and there to get food, take a walk, or grab a coffee can break apart your study day.

4. Try to get sleep

This is extremely hard as it is so easy to stay up incredibly late in the library, but try to give yourself a decent amount of sleep so you are able to function the next day.

5. Coffee and tea help

I am a HUGE fan of coffee because it gives me that extra boost of energy that I need at all hours of the day. If you don't like coffee, no worries, tea has the same effect and you can also drink non caffeinated tea to help you fall asleep at night. Also, nothing is more calming than a nice cup of tea or coffee.

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.

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.
