The Last Six Weeks Of School As Told By Michael Scott
Odyssey

As I enter the home stretch of my junior year, I am faced with the dilemma that comes at the end of every school year: Excitement for summer and three months of relaxation, competing with the dread that comes with the last weeks of school.

Between exams, papers, projects, meetings and everything else that college students have on our plate, it's as if the teachers are making you prove that you can make it to summer without dying. Here is that struggle of the last six weeks of school as told by the one and only Michael Scott.

Six weeks to go:

Coming back from spring break refreshed and relaxed, finals and homework are the last thing on your mind. All you can think about are those fond memories when you were feelin' hot, hot, hot.

Five weeks to go:

While you may still be daydreaming about warm weather and no responsibilities, professors have wasted no time and are already loading on the papers and tests. But come on, there is still so much time, lets all just relax.

Four weeks to go:

When the realization hits that there is only one month left for you to get your grades up, you're first filled with denial...

Then you resort to a new strategy: Sucking up to your professor so, hopefully, they'll have sympathy for you and give you a better grade.

Three weeks to go:

Now there is no denying it, finals and papers are coming quickly. Now is time to get in the zone, so let the pep talks and motivational quotes begin.

Two weeks to go:

Crunch time, folks. These last two weeks are usually a blur of coffee and study guides, and if you're able to see the sun during the day then you're one of the lucky few. But you need to start believing that you can make it to the end, so the confidence starts coming out (even if you have to fake it).

One week to go:

It's the final countdown. This is what you've been working for, so it is time to tackle the tests and show your professors what you're made of. Then you read the essay prompt and come up with a new plan - fake it till you make it.

The freedom of summer is just around the corner, so if you can make it through the last six weeks of school you can make it through anything! Channel your inner Michael Scott, and keep your eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel.

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.
