Finals Week as told by The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

If you haven’t heard of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, it’s a Netflix show that we have the comedy queen Tina Fey to thank for. It follows Kimmy, who is beginning her life in New York City after she lived in a bunker for fifteen years. She was kidnapped and forced to live there as part of a doomsday cult; she thought the world had ended, and after her rescue, she’s living her life to its fullest.

As college students, we may believe the world is ending too. We won’t make it past finals week, there’s no way. We’re bogged down by papers, presentations, tests, there’s no way we’ll see summer. Just as Kimmy decided to not let her fifteen years in the bunker hold her back, we are not letting a tough semester hold us back from acing finals and making the most of summer. To students who are struggling through finals week, we are all unbreakable! So how would Kimmy get through them?

1. First comes the mood swings. You’ve been in the library for eight hours, you need a snack, and you just remembered you still have another paper due.

2. Next, you make other sacrifices so all your school work can get done. Less time to eat and sleep, of course.

3. Just take on a little bit at a time and you can get through this. You’ll finish your one paper tonight, then you’ll prepare for your one presentation tomorrow. Little by little, you'll get through this.

4. We just have to remember to stay confident, and we will get through this week.

5. But then you remember, you have other obligations to balance. Like your job, paying those couple bills, your laundry this week, and you can’t miss Game of Thrones either.

6. But then, you remember you’re in the homestretch. Just one exam left, then say hello to summer. You can do this!

7. It’s Friday and you just walked out of your last exam. You’ve made it, finally!

8. Say hello to summer! Now it’s time to celebrate.

The world hasn’t ended, and your summer's just getting started. Yes, you still have to wait out grades being posted, but you’ve finished and that’s something to celebrate!

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.
