The Thoughts That Go Through Your Head While You're Procrastinating

This past week for college students has been absolute hell. It has been an insane amount of stress, studying, and too much caffeine. There are a lot of things that are probably going through your head while you are in this mild zone of panic and stress. I mean, I know that I was full of so many emotions, I didn't know what to do with all of them. But the important thing to remember is that when the week is over, it's completely done. You have absolutely nothing to worry about other than getting the chance to relax and go home and play with your pet if you have one. The holidays that come after finals are definitely the thing that keeps most of us going. Because of this, I have compiled a list of things that go through your head while you are trying to finish up finals for the semester.

"Hopefully the professor likes me enough to personally go in and change my grade to something higher."

"I probably should have gone to class rather than skip all those times so I would actually know the material."

"I probably should have taken notes or listened more in the class."

"There is something fundamentally wrong with packing all of my finals into one week."

"My head is too small for the amount of information that I have to cram into it."

"Is that really my 6th cup of coffee today?"

"Is it really 3am already?"

"I should really stop watching Netflix and start studying."

"I should not worry about cleaning the house now, I should probably study."

"Literally going to Walmart for no other reason but to get out of the house is not the best option at the moment."

"Death and dying would be a better option."

"I don't think I want to be in college anymore."

"Why should I pay all this money for no other reason than to torture myself during finals?"

"Do I honestly need more take out? I could just eat healthy. I would feel a lot better."

"Well, I definitely failed that final."

"I only have like 500 more words to write for this essay. Might as well wait to do it until later. It won't be that hard. "

"That was a mistake"

"I'm going to be better prepared for the next final."

"I am going to do nothing but focus for this exam and not let anything distract me."

"Well, there's always next semester."

Finals are always the worst part of the semester. But at least it's all over now and we can celebrate by gorging ourselves with food and fun with the upcoming holidays! Have a great break everyone!

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
