Finals week is quickly approaching for us all. It's that time of the year when you want to study in a quiet place, but everyone has the same thought and the library is packed, and Starbucks is about to rank in some major money. It's a stressful time. And who else knows and understands stress better than students taking these finals? You could say Tina Belcher can accurately describe what we feel about taking finals, and all the stages we will be facing once finals begins.

The moment when the professor says your final is mostly comprehensive.

Even though we all dread hearing this, we have to admit that they aren't doing this to make our lives miserable. And they usually give you a big heads up about this weeks in advance. Most of the time.

You hype yourself up to begin the tedious studying process.

Once the studying first starts, we think we can handle this. We are planning out our study techniques and have a fresh cup of something with a crap ton of caffeine in it. But this doesn't last long.

Too many hours. Too many things to study.

You start to slowly lose your mind because you've been studying none stop. You're mind can't focus, you ran out of caffeine, and you're ready to take an F and give up.

What's sleep? Wish I knew.

You're still persisting in your studying, but it is now the wee hours of the night. You go try to take a nap and you constantly think of random thoughts, but not anything you just studied.

"So how is studying going?"

Don't ask. Cause we don't know the answer.

No sleep continues, which means you are distracted by everything and anything.

And I mean anything.

It's time for the final, and you're planning out your plan B for if you fail.

It's just a precautionary.

The first few questions are seemingly easy, and you start to feel confident.

That's right, you got this, nothing can go wrong!

Then there is the ever daunting essay/open ended section and your confidence goes *poof*

Welp, we expected this would happen.

And then there's the feeling of going in to your last final

This is where everyone gets excited to leave school and as you're taking your test, it feels like you can hear summer calling your name.

You hand in your last final, and then you are FREE.


Do we care about the grade we just got on the final? NOPE. Why? Because we're DONE FOR LIKE THREE MONTHS.

Grades come, and you can say to your family that you PASSED and they're proud!

There's a B, maybe an A, maybe a couple C's, possibly a D. But it's passing! (C's get degrees right?) Either way, they just want to hear that you passed and then your family looks at you like you're a genius.

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.
