First, there's Sylly week, then an introduction week, then the third week of the semester comes along with no warning and you're drowning in work trying to remember how one studies. Since you did nothing semi-productive over break, and your brain can't/won't attempt to study, you can only procrastinate.

Your only prior memory of academic work is finals week... and we all know how much procrastination took place that week. So, inevitably you revert back to old and useless behaviors and then convince yourself that "Eh, it's only the first test I have time."

There is no one better to present this third-week procrastination than the brilliant and hilarious cast of "The Office."

Looking at all the chapters you have to read and remember in less than 24-hours

Could've planned this one a little better. There's always next time!

When your friend asks you if you want to go out

Knowing full well you have no right to or time...or money.

After 2 hours binge-watching "Friends" reruns...

One more episode won't hurt? Not like I've seen the series 5 times through.

Going to the gym for the sole purpose of avoiding any work

And lasting 20 minutes cause you haven't been in three weeks...

Overthinking all your life decisions thus far just because you have time to do so

This has the potential to waste a good amount of time. Warning: may result in horribly embarrassing middle school flashbacks that still invoke intense emotions.

Congratulating your self for your solid effort in 20 minutes of studying

That oughta do it right?

Looking at your notes at 11 pm the night before your test like...

Debating to yourself if you should pull an all-nighter this early in the semester or just admit defeat and live by the college mantra of "If I don't know it now, then I never will."

Convincing yourself that sleep is way more important and that you'll "wake up early and study"

Cause 10 times out of 10 waking up at 5 a.m. to study just does not happen no matter how many alarms you set..or snooze. I wonder why.

Waking up 10 minutes before you have to leave for class

Surprise surprise. It's just as you suspected would happen. I'll study before class, during the 5 minutes I have?

Ultimately walking into your test admitting that it's just not gonna happen this week

Test 2 will be YOUR test. Maybe even thinking about studying two days in advance.

But then walking out of class and reminding yourself who you are!!!

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.
