It's the moment we've been waiting for since August. Mid-terms are over, the workload is dying down, and (for a small period of time) you have actual time for yourself. Wondering what to do with yourself? Here are 10 things that are, for the most part, productive and are sure to lead to your success as the semester finishes out.

1. Re-organizing your life (AKA your dorm room)

Coming back into your routine will be much nicer with a fresh start. Move around some furniture, vacuum those crumbs out from under your desk. There’s nothing nicer than a clean workspace to finish up the semester in.

2. Finding or making a new playlist on Spotify or Apple Music

Tying into this ‘starting fresh’ theme, bring some new music into your world. Whether it’s a playlist to help you study (I highly recommend classical) or work out, having this resource will make you feel much more confident coming out of your mid-term blues.

3. Catching up on your sleep

Some well-deserved z’s are in the near future for your hard-work.

4. Swapping out your clothes

Yes, Summer is over. No more crop-tops or sundresses thanks to Autumn’s impending chill. Use this time to pick out some new boots or scarves to warm up your wardrobe.

5. Actually going to an event without feeling guilty about your workload afterwards

We’ve all done it. The little fomo monster resides in all of us. But now that mid-terms are over, you can go to that show or festival without worrying about what productive work you could (should) be doing instead.

6. Re-organizing your life part II (clean out your computer files)

Your procrastination has most likely resulted in stray documents your desktop screen. But don’t worry: folders are a beautiful thing. Set yourself up for success to finish out the semester by organizing your files into folders for easier access later on.

7. Finishing up that season of Game of Thrones

I won’t pretend like you haven’t been binge watching your recent Netflix or HBO show, but at least now you can do it without that nagging sensation in the back of your mind telling you no, not one more episode.

8. Catch up on all the friendships you’ve ignored while your head was stuck in a textbook

Grabbing lunch or having a three-hour-long Skype session is now a-okay! Find out all about what’s been going on in their lives and, if their mid-terms are still in full-swing, use that time to be a source of encouragement for your pals.

9. Restock on your food

Stress-eating is real, and so is the freshman/sophomore/junior/senior 15. Now that your mid-terms are in the rearview mirror, it’s time to refill your food drawers with some fall-themed goodies.

10. Cry happy tears

...because mid-terms are finally over! Woohoo!

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
