When spring break comes to a close, every college student is hopeful that summer time is right around the corner. A time with relaxation and no school work in sight. However, before we can get there we are bombarded by assignments, exams and papers that seem to overwhelm us... coincidentally all at the same time. The low motivation level does not help with the excessive amounts of work. Here is how college students feel getting through the spring semester told by the characters in 'This Is Us'.

1. All of the assignments that are due in the same week

After spring break, endless amounts of homework and papers are thrown your way. Every time you think you have completed one assignment, another one is due.

2. Feeling stressed out

As each week passes by you think that it will get easier but then somehow you end up more stressed than before.

3. Trying to pretend you're still sane

When people ask how you are and you have act like you have it all together. In reality, you have 3 tests, 2 papers and are running on 3 hours of sleep.

4. Tests

Your professors suddenly want to have a test every other week on the increasingly difficult material, and all of your professors seem to be on the same page.

5. Lack of sleep

There is not enough time in the day to accomplish all of your work, so you have to fight the urge to sleep until infinity and do more work. Yay.

6. Getting anxiety about your GPA

Getting tests back and trying to think of creative ways to raise your GPA.

7. Easter Break

If you go to a Catholic University, Easter Break is the light at the end of the tunnel.

8. Procrastination taking over

You suddenly find yourself organizing files on your computer instead of facing the pounds of work you're put off.

9. Crying becomes your new hobby

Half the time you don't even know why you're crying, it just feels like the correct response.

10. Don't worry! Were almost done!

Keep the faith college students! Before we know it, we will make it to the promise land that is summertime.

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.

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.
