5 Things To Do Now That Finals Are Over
Logan Pittman

Congratulations! Even if you just barely passed you still managed to make it through the semester. While that isn't an entirely remarkable achievement you still deserve some credit where credit is due. Besides just getting a not so affordable education, students have many other responsibilities besides school such as work and unfortunate family situations. Professors may understand our circumstances but they still need to do their jobs so skating by is incredibly difficult. Now that finals are over we can return home and the majority of us will start our summer jobs. As celebrations though here's five things to do to celebrate now that finals are over.

1. Sleep

Being real the fact is students in college have a grand history of pulling repeated all-nighters, especially during finals week. I am the embodiment of this particular stereotype. Going from my dorm to class and holing up in the dorm again pulling one all-nighter after the next. Repeating that you'll sleep after you get back from class are all things I've done multiple times during midterm and finals week. So tonight make up for all the missed sleep and just pass out.

2. Meet up with friends from home

No matter how much you've changed over the course of a semester with either how you think or act there will always be a few people who will have you back when you're back home. So before you take the plunge of overworking at your summer job take a week and enjoy time with them. You'll be recharged enough so that you can go back to dealing with irritating coworker and customers alike.

3. Binge watch

Anything you enjoy, no judgment and any snacks you want. The word dieting shouldn't exist during your binge-watching time. Go the full nine yards and if you are down invite your friends over. If not then just let the relaxation time do its work.

4. Get a haircut

A nicer way of saying that is to treat yourself. But let's be honest we've all let our scruff take over our lives. With our hair in our eyes, we took our finals as the color continued to fade away just as our optimism did. After a quick redo of our hairdo, we can finally take to the streets with some semblance of self-confidence.

5. Start job hunting

After properly refreshing yourself and showing off your new shave, you may have enough of a self-confidence boost to send out resume after resume. Rember that you made it through a year of college and you'll make it to the next one even if things don't go how you pictured them. If it is your final year and you've stepped out into the 'real world' I wish you all the luck and hope your job hunt goes better then everyone's combined.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
