9 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go To My Midterms

Unpopular opinion: midterms are worse than finals. Don't @ me.

It's midterms season. People are crammed inside libraries, weighed down by books, and dehydrated from crying. In my not-so-humble opinion, midterms are worse than finals. At least with finals you're done at the end, but with midterms there's only more studying. So instead of studying for my two exams, one paper, and two quizzes, I thought I'd make a list of things I'd rather do.

1. Go to the dentist.

Hmm...teeth scraping or paper writing? I'll take the lecture about flossing. Heck, I'll start flossing morning and night if it means I can avoid midterms.


2. Be adopted into the Trump family.

I don't care what your political opinions are (I mean, I do, but not for the point I'm making), we all know they're weird robots posing as humans.


3. Eat broccoli forever.

Broccoli is gross. That is all.


4. Get a flip phone.

I am a social media addict, and I embrace it. But I'd rather give up all social media and live in a world with no Twitter feed than deal with midterms.


5. Give up weekends.

Those two holy days at the end of each week, filled with lounging and snacking and laziness. Oh, how I love them. But I'd give them up in a hot second to avoid midterms.

6. Bite into an oatmeal raisin cookie, thinking it's chocolate chip.

Oh, the HORROR.


7. Have a permanent crick in my neck.

Not exactly painful, but just enough to be annoying. Honestly the worst kind of frustration.



8. Have gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

That awkward squelch every time you take a step....the irritation of having to work harder to pull one foot from the ground....I shudder to think about it. STILL better than midterms.


9. Declare my love of Duke.

Wait....wait nevermind, GO TO HELL, DOOK!

There's many things I'd rather do than struggle through the next two weeks until Spring Break. But supporting Dook? Never.

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.
