Prepping For Finals
tips for last minute test cramming

Finals are coming, and what is the college experience without utilizing your time for the authentic college experience. These moments could effect the rest of your life so choose wisely and don't make any mistakes ever or you will live with endless regret and hate yourself forever. Finals are a fun way to prove you've learned things by memorizing facts and numbers that you will forget in a month and vomiting them onto paper either in the form of writing a paper and not going to sleep or choosing "C" on the scantron when you have no clue what the answer is. Finals can be scary, they hold a lot of weight and uncertainty. There are ways to alleviate some of this stress, and I know some of them. So here are six ways to prep for finals.


1. Sharknado

I cannot stress enough how good this movie is. The genius idea of making a poorly made monster movie on purpose is phenomenal. It's so hard to choose a favorite, seeing as there are currently four of them: "Sharknado", "Sharknado: the second one", "Sharknado 3: Oh hell no!" and "Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens". Each film gets more and more bizarre, I highly recommend watching it with your friends. If you have any lol.


2. Get a Pen Pal

What better way to disassociate from your life then to get involved in someone else's life that you have no connection to other than writing to them? This fun and entirely outdated form of communication will take up a lot of your time and mental energy. You won't be able to focus on trivial things like the 18 pages you have to write for your history final because you'll be far too busy writing 18 pages to Albina in Vladikavkaz, Russia about literally anything but Roman Civilization.


3. Hibernation

Some people say that humans are incapable of hibernation, but who says you can't be the first person ever to successfully sleep for months in a cave. Who's going to stop you? Your mom? If you're a commuter maybe; but if you live on campus you are in charge of your life. Your roommate may try to stop you but just put up a "do not disturb" sign or something. Plan carefully, eat as much as you can the day of, take full advantage of that meal plan, then promptly go to sleep. You may miss your finals put you have to put that on the back burner because revolutionizing the science world has taken priority now.


4. Become the next Jackson Pollock.

Jackson Pollock was famous for his abstract drip paintings. He would throw, dribble, and splatter paint on huge canvases in his barn all day and made a career out of it. Why not you? Action painting is totally doable, and Pollock isn't really on the scene anymore since he died in a car accident in 1956. He basically did that just for you and you're sitting here worrying about finals? Go dance with a canvas while covered in paint and make a life for yourself!


5. Work hard on your finals.

no one does this


6. Ascend into a celestial being.

Ascend into space and live past time and existence. Live in the 7th dimension and care not of earthly things for you have become something entirely new beyond human comprehension. It is beautiful and terrifying all at once.


But like, you should still write to Albina, your letters are the highlight of her month.

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.
