Spring Semester Sucks

Here's how you deal with it...or maybe not.

Finals week is coming up QUICK and honestly, it's not even the worst part about the end of the semester. At this point, summer is so close I can almost taste it. I have plans with friends, and it's going to be great, but a mere couple of stressful weeks stands between me and freedom.

My main problems with the end of the spring semester are pretty major. I hate how many social activities happen, I hate how much school work I have to do and I really hate the concept of graduation.

As I've moved through college I've realized that the end of the spring semester is much worse than the end of the fall semester. In fall, you know that school is not over and that everyone will be reuniting in a short few weeks. We are simply gone from our friends for a little bit before coming back and doing it all over again. We do not have to worry about saying goodbye to our friends for what could be forever (dramatic, I know).

In the spring semester, we have the added stress of graduation, aka when all of your older friends leave forever. I sadly have three close friends graduating this semester and I hate that we are going to have to say goodbye to them in a few weeks.

Another thing I hate about spring semester is how busy everything gets in the last four weeks. If you thought the end of spring semester would be a breeze, well, you thought wrong. Naturally, you would think, "everyone is getting ready for finals so school is going to be dead." Well, you would be wrong.

It seems like everyone sees this as the perfect time to start doing everything that we didn't do throughout the semester. Newsflash everyone. Ya girl is failing a class so I don't have time to be all social. Am I going to try and participate in everything? Yep. Is it the worst? Also yep.

The final pet peeve of mine is schoolwork itself. It seems like at the beginning of the semester teachers have a meeting and decide to make every due date on the seemingly same day. I went from having virtually no work due to having three tests in a matter of two days. WHY.

Please have more things due at the beginning of the semester. It's not fair to us students to put every major due date within a span of two weeks. We had another 10 weeks that we could've turned this paper in but nope. Its due this week of all weeks.

Genuinely, I don't actually hate the spring semester. It's a great time, but it's also the most stressful and sad. This year, as a junior, I think I mentally prepared myself for this time around but as I sit here and type this I'm 99.9% certain that im coming down ith a cold. So lets be real. The spring semester always wins.

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.
