My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

Everybody can relate

My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
ABC News

Ahhh college. What a glorious time in one's life. But also, what a stress filled, anxiety ridden, and bad luck filled time of your life. Or maybe that's just me. I firmly believe that there is a separate, distinct type of luck reserved just for college kids. I call it "College Luck". Last week was pretty horrendous, but as I look back on it now, some parts were funny...some.

1) Three tests in one week.

Originally I would have had 4, but by the grace of God, my statistics teacher moved the test back a week. I think I ate my weight in Cheeto's to celebrate.

2) Closed my hair in my Jeep door...

I was very excited to go to the pet store to get a Betta fish. I thought that life was going to leave me alone for 30 minutes so I could pick out a cute little fish. No chance. My hair reaches all the way to my butt. Butt length hair+ heavy wind+me shutting my Jeep door at the same time=disaster. As I tried to walk away I was suddenly yanked backwards. Another obstacle was to figure out how to contort to reach my door handle to release my hair from the death grip my door had on it. Highlight of that trip? I have a beautiful Betta fish and his name is Cheeto.

3)Clowns Terrorized Milledgeville.

On top of spending all the hours of the day in class and then at Starbucks studying, I had to have a heart attack every time I came home (at night) and made the walk (run) up to my apartment. With pictures and videos circling the Internet of people wearing clown masks and the threat of being lured in by a baby's cry was absolutely too much for me to handle.

4) The local coffee shop making jokes about the clowns...

"An iced coffee a day keeps the clowns away." I hope every GCSU student bought an iced coffee.

5) The boys that live above me

Where do I start? The boys that live above me are something else. The noises that come through my ceiling, I honestly don't want to know what's actually going on. Whether it is 10a.m. or 4a.m., they always seem to find someone to fight (and yell for 30 minutes at each other how much they want to fight), bang around, slam doors, and have an insanely squeaky bed... Thank you boys above me for always keeping me guessing what's coming next.

Even though this is only one week out of the year that was especially bad and it seemed like hell when it was happening, now that it's over, it's actually funny. But only some parts. The clowns still aren't funny. This week taught me that no matter what life throws at you, get through it and laugh about it later.

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.

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.
