Parks And Finals Week

"I don't know what I'm doing..."

Parks And Finals Week
NBC

For many freshmen like myself, our first university level finals week is just around the corner. I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally am terrified for what's to come over the next few weeks before winter break starts. From midnight due dates to ridiculous procrastination, pulling all-nighters to cramming a semester's worth of work into a day, there's a lot going on. What better to show that than the masters of disaster at the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department? Here are some feelings that I'm certain will be familiar to first-year freshmen as finals approach.

1. Checking Canvas expecting to see a 27 but you actually have a 92.

2. The day after you pull an all-nighter.

3. When the Five-Hour Energy hits.

4. When you've got an oral presentation in front of the whole class.

5. Eating your anxiety away.

6. When you remember a midnight deadline at 11:55.

7. When you finish your first exam and walk out of the lecture hall.

8. When the stress and the flu hit at the same time but you have a test to take.

9. When you get to leave the class you hated all semester for the last time.

10. Getting together a study group for a class everyone is failing, but knowing you'll fail together.

11. When you have to do all the work on a group project final.

12. When you think you totally aced a final but you completely flunked it.

13. Trying to study when your phone keeps buzzing.

14. Trying to be positive through the last few days of finals week.

15. And finally, the day after finals are blessedly over and winter break begins.

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.
