Finals week can be the most stressful time of the year. The semester is almost over, so you kind of just want to give up, but you need to just push through these last few days. There’s going to be late nights, minimal sleep, and lots of caffeine, but you will survive. While you might be neck-deep in textbooks and exam reviews right now, there's a light at the end of the tunnel! Once all of this is over, you’ll be on winter break and be free! You can destress from the semester and feel proud that you made it out alive. You’ve worked hard and deserve to treat yourself. I’ve decided to make a list of ways to treat yourself once finals are over.


1.Take a bubble bath

Buy a nice lavender scented bubble bath and clothes your eyes and breathe. Sit there until you forget all your worries and feel content.


2. Take a nap...or seven

You’re finally on winter break! You finally have lots of time to catch up on sleep. Finally, naps don’t have to mean dozing off in class or on that comfy chair in the library.


3. Buy yourself some candles

This might be just me, but there’s something very therapeutic about buying candles. You just walk around and focus your energy on smelling nice things. How could anyone not love it?


4. Go on a shopping spree

Retail therapy may be expensive, but it is very effective. Enough said.


5. Plan a vacation

Plan your dream vacation...even if you don’t go! Research luxury hotels and 5-star restaurants! Alternatively, you can plan a real trip, with a smaller budget. Talk to some friends and make it happen!


6. Go on a road trip with your best friends


Spontaneous road trips are usually the best. Make a good playlist, find some good friends, and get in the car and drive.


7. Give yourself a spa night.


Paint your nails. Throw on a face mask. Turn on some relaxing music. Enjoy a little “me” time!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
