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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
