Hell Week

When everything is due.

Ever feel like everything is due all at once? More than likely it is, but the question is why does this happen? Those weeks are typically called hell weeks, and that is because it feels like there is no time to breathe and have time for yourself.

The problem is that with hell week people think it's because you did not plan everything out so you would not have to deal with everything being due. The problem with that is the mere fact that tests, quizzes, and projects due dates are something you have no control over. The teachers are in charge of that and even then they sometimes try to avoid that from happening.

The dreaded end of semester closes and then everything is due because that is the last time your class will meet. So when it does happen, you can do multiple things:

One idea is pick and choose; this means, decide what you need to get done to keep your grade to where you want it and not do anything with the others. The problem with this is that your grade in other classes may drop because of it.

Another is to try and do everything to your fullest ability; the problem with this one is that you will lose something else (for example: sleep), and even then you might not do as well as you want.

The third one is you can see the upcoming hell week coming and try your hardest to be able to go through and get as much done beforehand. The problem with this is that you may not even see the hell week coming until it is too late.

With hell week, it always seems like it is going to take forever but, eventually, it will be over and you can try harder next time. Just remember that, even if it does not feel like it, sleep is needed and you will have the free time you need. This can happen when going into a work setting as well, because you may have projects you need to do and have due dates for them because they need to be looked at before being accepted. So it may seem like it will be over once you are free from school, but be careful of those real-world deadlines! The nice thing with it being work is that you can go through and will be able to take time off once you are free of your hell week and be able to have time to relax and sleep.

With the work setting, you should always be able to see when your hell week is coming because if you are working on everything at an even pace, then you will be able to have most things done before they're due. The best part about work is that you will not have tests or exams unless you are in a class and learning more for that specific business.

All in all, take this week as you wish. Whether that is all at once, over time, or picking and choosing, in the end, everything will eventually get done. Good luck on your week from hell!

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.

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.
