Remember These 7 Things During Finals Week

Finals week has arrived and I know just how painful it can be. Don't let this week bring you stress! I know, impossible right? Well, we can try our best! Study hard and don't give up, remember this is to better your future career one day! Follow these 7 reminders and it may make finals week just a tad easier for you.

1. Forget about looking good

Don’t worry about trying to impress anyone. It’s finals week, wear the comfiest clothes in your closet, forget makeup, and call it a day. Besides, you look beautiful either way.

2. Take breaks

I know you want to study 24/7 for that 4.0, but taking breaks from studying is important too. It’s not good to overload your brain with information. Take some breaks by going for a walk and getting fresh air. Plus, I know you probably haven’t seen the outside since you’ve been so cramped up in your dorm studying.

3. Find a quiet space

When you do study, find an area that’s quiet and away from everyone. Concentrating is usually harder with noise and people around, but some people have different preferences. Whatever your preference is, make it happen!

4. Worry less

Getting yourself overwhelmed over finals will cause even more stress. Try to relax and not worry so much. Go in on exam day with a positive attitude. Remind yourself that you have the ability to do well.

5. Eat more

Yes, eat lots of food, seriously. Why do you think we call fattening food, “comfort food.” When we get stressed out we tend to eat more, and we usually go for the unhealthy food. This may not be a bad thing to do when stressing over finals week. If it makes you feel better, then do it.

6. Rest up

Sleep is important! Many college students run on 5 hours of sleep at most, but make finals week different. I know you’re probably shaking your head saying, “this is the week I’m ganna get even less sleep than usual,” but if you stick to a study plan, you should be able to get some rest; however, I’m not saying this will be effective for everyone. Sleep is important because it helps your brain function better and could improve your chances for receiving a higher exam grade. Make finals week the week you get more sleep in college than ever.

7. Don’t give up

No one enjoys finals week. Even if you think you’re ganna absolutely bomb the exam, take a deep breath and stay positive. Have an open mind and some hope before taking your finals. If you give up, you’ll regret it. You’ll look back on the day you had no hope in passing your final and completely failed it, and wish you didn’t. One can only cram so much into their brain. Try your hardest and even if you still fail, remember that you did your best. Just don’t give up!

Good luck on your finals everyone!

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.

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.
