Perhaps you've stumbled upon my creator page before, and if you have, you certainly would have noticed that P!ATD is one-third of what I subsist on. (You should click here to find out the other two, and check out some other, in my completely unbiased opinion, amazing articles. Just saying.)

Naturally, I could not help but to take my love for this band and relate it back to the most dreadful, feared upon, heart-wrenching time of year for all students across the globe.... dare I say it? Midterm season.

1. "Do I look lonely? I see the shadows on my face." ("Death of A Bachelor," 2016)


You know the feeling: maybe you haven't slept, or you have slept but you're at that uncomfortable amount of sleep where you can still function, but you just cannot stop thinking about your warm bed no matter what.

I'm kind of there right now.

2. "I'm going insane and I don't care." ("Dancing's Not A Crime," 2018)


You read the textbook, but it all just looks like hieroglyphs and nonsense. I mean, they know that we don't understand what we're reading anyways, so why not just make them a little bit more straightforward and not so fluffy?

3. "Say your prayers, say your prayers, say your prayers." ("Hallelujah," 2016)


Sometimes, when you're headed into a really hard exam that may or may not kick you square in the butt, you just gotta pray and convince yourself that the studying you did do is actually going to be enough for the exam.

4. "Don't threaten me with a good time." ("Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time," 2016)

Social life, anyone? No, certainly not I.

5. "I chime in with a 'haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?'" ("I Write Sins Not Tragedies," 2005)


I remember SO vividly taking an exam for one of my classes and there were so many people crowded around the door (which was open, mind you) and they were talking quite loudly. This lyric definitely popped in my head.

6. "Say what you mean, tell me I'm right." ("The Ballad Of Mona Lisa," 2011)


That's all you really want, is to know that what you're saying is correct, and sometimes it can be a little difficult to understand the message that your professor really means to convey. You literally feel how Brendan Urie looks in this GIF.

7. "Some days I lie wide awake till the sun hits my face." ("King Of The Clouds," 2018)

Or, sometimes It can feel that way when you've spent hours upon hours upon endless hours studying, reading and doing homework. But hey, they say sleep is underrated... right?

8. "If every night I go to sleep knowing that I gave everything that I had to give, then it's all I could have asked for." ("Say Amen," 2018)

This one is a little more positive: as long as you give it your all, and put all your effort into it, then don't worry too much about it. I promise you aren't going to remember this day five years from now, nor will it matter. Just have confidence in yourself and know that you are going to do amazing.

9. "Sit back, just sit back, just sit back and relax." ("Camisado," 2005)


Seriously, don't stress too much. Just take a deep breath, you've got this! Urie amazing!...… Alright, I'm sorry for that mediocre pun of Brendan's last name, but you know I had to. You know you smiled a little bit.

10. "Boy, you better put that pen to paper and charm your way out." ("London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines," 2005)


I'm pretty sure this is what every student tells themselves before they write an essay, as we fashion an answer out of sleep-deprived notes.

11. "Tonight we are victorious, champagne pouring over us, all my friends we're glorious, tonight we are victorious." ("Victorious," 2016)


No better feeling than when you get your exam score back to see an amazing grade.

Look at you! You finished your midterms, and you aced every single one of them. Looks like there was nothing to be worried about after all.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
