Five Things to Do After Exams

Forget all about exams and start off your summer break right!

Five Things to Do After Exams

Many of you might just be finishing exams or already done with exams. After weeks and weeks of doing almost nothing but studying, you might come out of exams and have no idea what to do with yourself. Here are 5 things you can do to get out of exam mode and into summer break mode.

1. Lie down and literally do nothing for as long as you can.

Yes, this does seem very silly. How many times did you actually want to do this at 1 am during exams, though? This is the first step to forgetting all about exams; trust me, you will feel like a brand new person.

2. Gather all of your textbooks/prep books, and throw them out.

Actually, don’ t throw them out, those were expensive. Maybe sell them online or to some friends; just make sure you cannot see them. A stack of books laying around will only serve as a constant reminder of your exams and keep you worrying about them.

3. Clean your room and make it a little more summer-y.

Get rid of all of those random crumpled up sheets of paper that are laying all over the ground. Change your bed sheets. Clean out all of those half-drunken water bottles, empty food wrappers and random broken pens all over the ground. Cleaning your room and changing it up a little bit will help you feel like you have a fresh start.

4. Plan a short trip with your friends and family to get your mind off of exams.

If getting rid of your textbooks and changing up your room wasn’t enough to forget about exams, plan a short trip. Grab a few friends and go on a camping trip or take a road trip to somewhere nearby. This is definitely a foolproof way to forget about anything exam-related.

5. Catch up on reading all of the books and watching all of the TV shows you missed while studying for exams.

There’s no need to restrain yourself from watching/reading anymore; you have all of the time in the world (at least until summer break is over) to do this. You need to reward yourself. After all, you did have excellent self-control when you studied your calculus instead of binge-watching Friends all night.

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.
