It's hard to believe finals week is just a week.

10 Stages Of Finals Week From A Graduating Senior

Finals can be a very stressful time for all of us.

1. When you first look at your planner and realize how much work you have to squeeze in, in such a short period of time.

Studying, last minute homework assignments, work shifts, group projects. How can I possibly get all of this done?!?

2. Every night during final's week when you've been studying all day and you're at your breaking point.

You just want to take a break, but all of these assignments keep demanding your attention.

3. When you wake up and try to eat breakfast before your test.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You need brain fuel, but it's just so early.

4. When you get to your hardest final.


5. When all of your friends are done with finals and want to have fun, but you still have one more to study for.

Ugh, guys. You're making it really tempting to stop studying.

6. When you finally hand in your last final.

It's been a long week, but you still managed to complete all of your projects, crush all of your finals. (Hopefully) You should definitely be proud of yourself, now reward yourself with some sleep.

7. Realizing you'll miss your friends for the summer.

We don't have to go to class, but can't we all just stay here? I'll miss seeing you everyday so much. (This is especially worse if you're graduating. And/or if you don't live close to any of your college buds.)

8. Being a senior and realizing you're done with undergrad forever!

Four years of working your butt off and cramming for tests are now over! (Unless you're going to grad school, but you at least completed your first goal!) And that's certainly something to celebrate.

9. But then realizing you don't have anything to work on for the first time in four years.


I... I don't really know what it means to sit, relax and do nothing. I'm so used to always being busy, but now that I'm not procrastinating anything, I feel so lost.

10. But all of that temporarily fading at graduation, seeing everyone proud of your accomplishments.

We did it! And of course we'd be nowhere without the support of our friends and family.

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.
