20 Things To Do Now That Finals Are Over

Her Campus

Congrats!!! The most difficult week of your life is finally over! You should be proud of yourself and ready to kick back, relax, and forget about textbooks and essays. Here are a few tips if you can’t seem to get out of that cloudy finals haze.

1.Dance around in a circle.

You have nothing to do for an ENTIRE MONTH!

2.Throw out those study guides that didn’t really help anyway.

Study guides = a ton of info that won't even be on the exam.

3. Watch as much Netflix as you want.

Season 8 of "One Tree Hill" has been calling your name all week but, sadly, you had to resist.

4. Cut back on all the caffeine you’ve been consuming. (Or not ;))

You can finally cut back on all those mocha lattes! Or, you can stick with your caffeine hound tendencies, whatever works for you!

5. SLEEP

Odds are, you haven't been getting a lot of it.

6. Eat whatever. you. want.

You deserve it!

7. Hang with your girls (or boys, or grandma, literally anyone you want.)

They've been deprived of you since you locked yourself away to study for hours on end.

8. Pet your dog.

They miss you too :(

9. Make some major dough.

You took off of work to prepare for this harrowing week, now go back and work your butt off so you can start making that mullah again.

10. Blast hella music.

No more 24-hour quiet hours! :D

11. Take cute pics.

Pictures were not your friend this week because of the constant bags under your eyes, but those are gone now!

12. Answer back all those unanswered texts.

Long text convos were definitely something you didn't have time for.

13. Catch up on the news.

So much went on while you were stuck in your study cave!

14. Read a book FOR FUN!!

Reading something that you don't have to memorize? Heaven.

15. Put on some jeans.

Don't get me wrong, sweatpants look great on you, but your jeans deserve some lovin' too.

16. Enjoy the holiday season.

Because finals have been your life for the past week or so, the holidays have taken a back seat.

17. Hug your mom.

She listened to you cry about your stress levels every night, she deserves it.

18. Smile :)

YOU'RE DONE!

19. Bake cookies.

Just because you can.

20. Enjoy your much deserved break!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
