It's that time of year again...finals season. Finals season is something we all dread. We have projects and papers due left and right; on top of that, we have five finals in one week. It can be tough, and it can be stressful, but here are twelve tips to help get you through this Finals Season:

1. Start studying a week in advance.

This takes off a lot of stress, plus you will feel more prepared. You will thank me later.

2. Take Breaks.

Your brain will go to mush if you don't take breaks. Get up, get some fresh air, and get a snack. If you just sit and study for hours on end with no breaks, you will end up just staring at your notes and not actually studying.

3. Don't take a break for all of Thanksgiving Break.

At least study a little bit during Thanksgiving Break. If you don't, it will be that much harder to get back into it once you get to school.

4. Drink Caffeine.

Caffeine will be your BFF during Finals Season, especially the weekend before Finals.

5. Utilize the weekend before Finals.

Don't go out to party. Stay up and study. Drink all of the caffeine. Do whatever you can to ensure you're prepared. The weekend before Finals is the most crucial in your success!

6. Rest.

Rest particularly well on the night before your Finals. Your brain needs as much time to recooperate as your body does.

7. Cry.

You probably need to cry, so just do it. It will relieve stress. Just make sure that after you're done crying, you get back to work.

8. Surround yourself with friends.

Studying sucks, but it can be a fun task to take on with friends. You can also keep each other accountable.

9. Dress Comfortably.

If you dress comfortably, you can pay a lot more attention to your work. When you dress up, you tend to pay more attention to your clothes than your work. Also, if you dress comfortable, you can sit in all kinds of comfy positions like criss cross applesauce.

10. Put down your phone.

Phones are a huge distraction, especially while studying. Put down your phone for an hour, and then give yourself specific "phone times" during your breaks.

11. Be Organized.

Make lists. Color code. Get a calendar. This will ensure you are allocating your time correctly. This will help so much not only during Finals Season, but all year round!

12. Do your best.

Doing your best on your exams is really all that matters in the end.

Breathe in and breathe out. Just like that, Finals Season will be over.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
