An Ode To Finals Week

'Twas the week before finals

An Ode To Finals Week
Fast Company

As my first Finals Week of my college career is approaching, and in my efforts to put off studying for my Math final as long as possible, I have decided to revisit my elementary school days and write a rhyming poem in order to express my true feelings about this time of the year:

Finals Week, Oh Finals Week,
I hate you so much.
But winter break that follows you
really does come in clutch.

This break will be filled
with relaxation and food
.
As well as everyone
in a good holiday mood.


There will be no schoolwork
or any kind of test.
After this long semester,
I can finally put my mind to rest.

It is weeks full of lots of sleep,
and watching plenty of Netflix too.
As well as time spent with family
and seeing old friends who you may bump into.

But it is still the beginning of Finals Week,
and I have 5 more tests to go
until I am able to go home,
Oh man, this week is going by so slow!

Goodbye Math, Government, and Comm
As well, English and Journalism.
Boy, without these classes,
my life will be so calm.

Sorry, that some of these rhymes
are not simply my best.
It's just that my mind isn't focused,
it's because I am so stressed.

I have so much to do;
there is so much studying that needs to be done,
until I can go join Grammy and
Grampy in the Florida sun.

But until then, here I sit,
surrounded by books and notes galore.
Such work and anxiety
really is not called for.

Thank you for reading this,
I know it was rather long.
I need a rhyme to end this with,
how about: so long!

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.
