Navigating College Finals

Argh! Not again!

Navigating College Finals

With finals around the corner, you are wrong for taking off your time to read this. Nonetheless, I should probably teach you something in exchange for your time. Did you know that twenty percent of office mugs contain fecal matter?

Twenty percent isn't a terrifyingly large percentage, but if twenty percent of people died bungee jumping, I wouldn't go. I'm not saying that people die from ingesting fecal matter – they don't. There is actually a fecal transplant used to treat C. difficile colitis, but I still don't think your fecal matter is FDA approved. Yeah, our immune systems are strong enough to fight a little bacteria, and babies often do eat fecal matter. But the thought of ever having fecal matter enter my mouth is enough to stop me from ever touching an office coffee mug to my mouth (#LoveYourself). But I wouldn't be so rude as to judge your level of hygiene!

Anyways, finals is a stressful time. Mainly because it's the point of the semester where you realize that you know absolutely nothing from the entire semester, and are about to be tested on it all. So first you internally freak out, then you call (or probably text) your friend and freak out together, then you try to figure out the bare minimum that you can still do to somehow get an A in that class, then you start to evaluate your superpowers as you chart how detrimental no food and sleep is for a week, and then you finally become more religious and start begging G-d. But who are we fooling? You're in college and aren't exactly the next Mother Teresa. So you decide to only sleep 3 hours a night (because you've evaluated this to be one of your superpowers). Before you know it, you're fast asleep...

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.
