11 Stages Of Surviving Finals As Told By Joey Tribbiani

Yes, it's that time of year. The time when sleep is a luxury and school is the ONLY priority. The late nights, stressful tests and far, far too many cups of caffeine are destined to leave you as little more than a shell of what you once were.

Although I know Friends won't solve all your finals blues, it at least pretends like there's a silver lining. Plus, all of us can relate to Joey during finals week.

1. You realize finals week is next week.


You just got back from Thanksgiving like a week ago! You're practically still in break mode! Someone did not plan this out correctly.

2. You go to class study sessions and quickly learn you know nothing.


Why does everyone look so calm? Did you really learn all this during the semester?

3. You try to start off strong.


You've collected and organized all your notes, scheduled a meeting with a professor for extra help, and scheduled blocks of time to study before the night before the test arrives.

4. This ultimately does not work out.


Your notes are a mess, you overslept and missed the meeting, and a Christmas movie marathon somehow diverted your attention away from your designated study time.

5. You scramble to get all your studying done last minute.


If you can lock yourself away from the outside world, find a way to get 12 hours of work out of the next ten hours before your 8 a.m. rolls around and pray a lot, there may still be hope for you.

You know you did this to yourself, but that doesn't stop you from being bitter.

6. You're up studying so late, your notes stop making sense.


You've read the same textbook page five times, but somehow still can't recall what it said. It might as well be written in a foreign language, at this point.

7. You hit your second wind.


It's 4 a.m., you're halfway through your notes, and suddenly couldn't be feeling better. It might be the caffeine, but either way -- you have got this.

8. You fear you've reached insanity.


You definitely do not got this.

9. Snack break!


Time and space have blended together, and suddenly meal times no longer hold any meaning. You still have a few hours until breakfast, but you're so hungry.

You've put in a lot of work, right? You deserve that Easy-Mac. And the bagel. And the popcorn.

10. It's go-time.


You somehow stumble your way to class the next morning and now all that's left to do is take those tests.

11. You're done!


Pass or fail, there's nothing else you can do. The semester flew by, finals are over and break has begun. You want to celebrate, but know you're really just going to take a nap.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
