If you are anything like me, you are ready to end this semester with a bang and take a break from classes for a while. With more than half of the semester over, we are finally in the homestretch and can just barely see the light at the end of the tunnel. To make your semester bearable and to give you that extra push, here are five ways to get through that final stretch of the semester:
1. Host A Friend Night
Hosting a friend night is one of the best ways to take a break from your hectic schedule. With all of the assignments, extracurricular activities, and appointments, you sometimes just need a break. What better way to spend a break than with your friends?
2. Take A Day Trip
No matter where you go to college, there is always somewhere you can drive for the day. Want to go to the beach? Maybe a city? Perhaps even a small town with lots of history? Spontaneous day trips are the perfect way to escape the responsibilities of college.
3. Go Restaurant Hopping

Nothing's better than food. Are there any restaurants in your town that you've been dying to try? Set aside a few hours to taste foods you never thought you'd enjoy. Don't be afraid to get outside of your comfort zone and try restaurants you've never been to.
4. Shop At Your Favorite Store
I have a friend who is absolutely OBSESSED with Target. Any time she has free time, one can find her perusing the aisles of Target, shopping cart in one hand, credit card in the other. More often than not, she leaves with more items than she can fit in her cart.
5. Go To As Many On-Campus Activities As Possible
From sporting events to art galleries, getting involved is the perfect way to meet new people and experience the college life. Maybe you can go to an on-campus concert? Perhaps there's an event with some free food? FOOD....free...free food. As stated above, nothing's better than food...especially if it's free.
When you feel the stress of college creeping up on you, refer to the above to get you through the rest of semester.
