The end of the semester is a strange time for college students, full of stress from final projects and exams and excitement to finally get a break and go home—but mostly stress. Here are some things every college student experiences at the end of the semester as told by a musical about the most stressed-out guy in history: Alexander Hamilton.

1. In the last few weeks, professors decide to give a million assignments at once.

It's like this is fun for them.

2. You decide you're going to stay on top of them and do everything in a respectable amount of time.

You won't let them get you down. It's time to rise up.

3. But they just keep piling up, and you start to wonder if maybe college just isn't for you.

But hey, it's the thought that counts—right, A. Ham?

4. Even with all those assignments, your friends still manage to convince you to hang out instead of studying.

How can you say no to this?

5. You procrastinate until the night before and say a tearful goodbye to your GPA.

We need George Washington to teach us how to say goodbye.

6. When you run out of credible sources for your paper:

"These are wise words. Enterprising men quote 'em. Don't act surprised, you guys, 'cause I wrote 'em."

7. Then, you get your paper back and it's not as bad as you thought.

And you start to think maybe you can do this after all.

8. When you go home for Thanksgiving break, your family bombards you with questions about how school is going.

Bonus: And they ask why you still don't have a boyfriend.

9. You get so stressed that you accidentally sleep through class.

Your friends get quite a few "Can I look at your notes?" texts.

10. And when you do go to class, you're so tired you wish your professor would just stop.

I mean, I'm sure they're tired, too. Let's do us all a favor.

11. Then, finals week comes around and you start writing like you're running out of time, retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf.

And like Hamilton, you are non-stop.

12. You start taking your finals and your hard work starts paying off.

13. The semester finally comes to an end and goes down as a success.

"Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now."

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.
