Happy finals week. It's finals week, which means sleepless nights spent studying and drowning in an endless sea of assignments season is upon us. But it's okay becauseyou will survive, and when you start to think otherwise, remember these 10 things:

1. Life will go on.

Your life will not be altered because of this one week of finals.

2. Your grade does not define you.

We should be defined by efforts, understanding, and how we allowed our schooling to shape us but instead, we are defined by how well we test. Our schools may use our GPAs and test scores to define us as students, but we hold the power to determine if our GPAs or test scores define ourselves as a people.

3. Remember that you're only human.

During finals week, we all become the living dead of college but it's important to remember that you're only human, we can't do everything. And hey, it is okay to cry.

4. Take care of your self.

Walking around campus with only two hours of sleep and a diet coke and a coffee for lunch isn't going to cut it. Remember to take care of yourself; sleep is essential.

5. Remember why you're doing this.

Remembering why you're pushing yourself so hard in the first place is the easiest way to gain back your lost motivation.

6. This isn't forever.

Remember that college will not last forever. You will get through finals and you will graduate.

7. Grades won't matter after college.

Your future employer isn't going to care if you made a 97 or 70 on your stats final; just focus on passing.

8. Do your best.

Just do your best. If your best is barely passing, then so be it. You tried.

9. Skipping out on sleeping isn't okay.

Remember that YOU NEED SLEEP. When given the choice between studying an extra few hours vs. sleep, choose sleep.

10. It's only one week!


There is a finish line!


No matter how many finals you have or how much studying you have to do, remember the end is near.

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.
