So finals week is over and you might be trying to find ways to unwind after being stressed for a week straight. Here's a list of the top ten ways to unwind after completing your finals. I own none of this gifs. This list is in no particular order. I hope it brings you some joy and laughter.

1. Listen to music.

This is my go to after I stress. Music always makes me feel better.

2. Call or talk to your mom.

My mom is like one of my best friends. Typically after going through a stressful situation I give her a call. She always is there to listen and give me sage advice.

3. Hang with friends.

Friends always seem to bring out the best in me. My friends always know how to make me smile. :)

4. Watch a tv show or movie.

This gif is literally me. All I can talk about is tv shows. Just ask anyone that knows me. I'm always binge watching something.

5. Sleep!


Seriously do this. Many people sadly lose sleep because of stress and finals. It's not good and healthy to lose sleep. Sleep! Your body will thank you!

6. Organize for next semester.

I am a nerd to my core. I tend to get ready early or miserably fail to, but I always like to try and get a head start on planning.

7. Do something creative.

Read, write, paint, etc. Possibly wait to do the writing. Your hand still might be hurting from finals.

8. Eat!


Eating always is a good thing. I always feel better after eating.

9. Take a walk outside. Get some fresh air.


Your body will thank you again for being active. You'll be able to think about something else if you just walk and listen to the outside world.

10. Breathe!

You've made it through finals. You're still alive! Congrats!

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.

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.
