Is it summer yet? Can I go home?

The Struggles Of Finishing Out The Semester
The Odyssey Online

Ahhh the semester is slowing coming to an end, and the anxiety attacks are beginning to become a regular occurrence. It feels as if almost everyone is in a frenzy and an extreme panic mode. Everyone keeps telling you to "finish out strong," but all you want to do is give up and go to bed. Here are just some, but not all, of the struggles that occur in the last few weeks of the semester.

When everyone is outside day drinking in the 75-degree weather, but you seem to have 6 essays, 2 group projects, and 13 finals...

Feeling like no coffee is powerful enough to wake you up and keep you going throughout the day...

Telling yourself that you're going to go to the gym every day, but end up crawling into bed and finishing a series of Netflix...

Being so broke that you resort to eating at the dining halls every day, even though all you want to do is order China City...

Running out of Dragon Dollars and not knowing what to do with your life anymore...How will I get iced coffee ?!?!?!

Wanting to go out every night because you only have so many days left, but feeling like you should be inside studying instead...

Checking your bank account and wondering what went wrong...

Having extreme FOMO watching everyone play on the front lawn...

Realizing that your friends get to go home a week earlier than you, and you have a final on the very last day...

Seeing pictures of your family drinking and BBQ-ing outside and not being able to remember what real food tastes like...

80-degree weather is for the beach, not for classrooms.

Mentally checking out of class and skipping an entire lesson...

Trying to teach yourself everything you supposedly learned this semester...

And lastly... the agony of counting down a number of days until going home. It's so close... but so far away!

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.
