The 6 Worst Studying Tips

It is that time of year again! Classes are coming to an end and all the work you have been putting off is coming in real hot. When you first get your syllabus and realize that all the big things are not do until the last week of classes you figure you'll have all the time in the world to get to it later but its later now and do you have time? Of course not.


1.) Go out every night of the week

Honestly its been a hard semester and you deserve some time off! So skip out on club library this last week and just go out and have a ball.

2.) Just eat all the junk food

We've heard all our lives that fruit and vegetables help our brains and scientifically help us do better but lets put it to the test. All the food in the snack drawer just pull out and eat that for dinner maybe you'll see if you do better or worse on your exams.

3. Hide from your notes

Opening your notebooks and going back over all your notes does not seem like fun, so instead let's just play a little game of hide and seek and hide your books and don't go back to look for them.

4. FaceTime with your friends from home.

You're going to see all your long lost best friends from home in one week but why wait? Spend all day and night FaceTiming with them instead of getting any work done because staring at each other and talking about nothing seems better than actually studying for those tests called finals.

5. Stay up all night.

Nap all day and stay up all night? Let's do it. Netflix is coming out with some good new movies and shows so why not choose that over sleep then nap when you should be in class.

6.) Go to the library and talk.

Everyones in the library trying to get their last minute work done and you want to feel like your getting work done too, so go hang out in the library. Rather than studying though sit there and talk to your friends and distract everyone else while you're at it.

By the way, don't do any of these things during finals week, but you could just do the exact opposite and good luck on finals!

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
