Give yourself a laugh during midterms for your own sanity.

1. Sunday scaries

You know the feeling. It's Sunday night before the exam week begins, and of course there is no chance in getting a full hour of sleep. There's people being way too loud in the hallway, and you stayed up way too late trying to force yourself to crack open a textbook. But that's okay! Monday will probably be a little rough in the morning, but maybe it won't be so bad.

2. Monday 

You were wrong. Monday, like every other Monday, did not run smoothly and the lack of sleep is hitting you hard. How is the rest of this week going to go? It's a scary thought, and it's time to at least try to pull it together if you want to survive this week.

3. Tuesday

The scramble to get it together might not be working out the way you planned by Tuesday. Hope may be temporarily lost. But a cup of coffee and a dream can get you through a couple more days if you really try.

4. Wednesday

Wednesday means that the end of midterms is so close, yet so, so, far away. If you have any more exams to take, it feels like there are only a couple thousand more blue books to fill out. The walls are closing in, but it's fine, everything's fine.

5. Thursday

There is a special place in Heaven for professors who make the exam a take-home paper. But of course, in the rush of studying, these papers get put off and ranked lower and lower on the priority list, until it is the very last minute. Like the 11:59 pm submission for the paper due at midnight. But Ron Swanson has a couple tricks to meet the word limit on that paper before the deadline!

6. Friday

It's finally the end! Friday is always a reason to celebrate, but if you still have exams left to take by Friday...it might bring on Chris Traeger's perfect storm of emotions.

7. Saturday

Take heed of the wise words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle and TREAT YO' SELF on Saturday. It's been too many long days and late nights of testing, so treat yo' self on midterm break and relax.

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.
