Is the week truly that long, or are you just impatient?

Also referred to as the longest week known to man... Claire Foy in The Crown displays the dramatic and sometimes comical facial expressions that perfectly exemplify your feelings toward this week.

1. When you make the bold decision to look at the "to do list" of work you have to do before you actually get to leave:

Then you secretly wished you hadn't looked at the to-do list at all and just stayed in your little pre-Spring Break excitement bubble.

2. Sitting inside lectures and labs looking outside knowing you'll be free in just a few days:

No homework...no studying...no term papers...a beautiful sight.

3. Looking at your professor exactly like this when they promised that material wouldn't be on the exam...then they put it on the exam:

"How could you lie to me like that? I trusted you."

4. The look you give your roommate when you're apologizing for the mean things you said when you were stressed:

Hopefully they understand. If not, chocolate is always a good addition to any apology. Lots of chocolate.

5. Picture this... Prince Phillip is the midterm exams standing between you and spring break:

Is there really any explanation needed?

6. Deciding to take a nice, long, hot bath to treat yourself amidst all of the papers, quizzes, and general stress that exams bring:

You deserve it after all of your hard(-ish) work, right?

7. Sitting in your room convinced that your already packed suitcase is taunting you:

Why did you pack so early? You don't really know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

8. When you finally make it to the end of the week...

The moment you've been waiting for since Sunday...you're not sure whether to jump up and down, cry tears of joy, or grab your suitcase and head to the airport three days early. Either way, you made it!

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.
