9 Things You Can Do Now That Finals Are Over

Finals.

That time of year that every college kid hates because it means you're pulling all-nighters to get your last assignments finished and studying for days on end. Coffee becomes a lifeline for some people. It sucks.

Luckily finals only last for a week and you're done until next semester. You get that break that you need, deserve, and you finally get to sleep.

If you're anything like me, when the semester is over you have no clue what to do with yourself because you have all this time. So here's a list of things to do with all the free time you have now.

1. SLEEP!


This is the most important thing. Personally, I know when I get done with finals I immediately go home and nap. Sleep is the first thing to get pushed to the side during finals and coffee becomes a best friend instead so finally being able to sleep in and not feel guilty about it is a great feeling.

2. Catch up on your favorite TV shows.

Not everyone watches TV, but for me, I have a few shows that I watch and I lose track of them because I get so busy during the semester. Once finals are over, I FINALLY have enough time to catch up and its a blessing.

3. Make playlists.

This is something I love to do on Spotify but I get so caught up with listening to the same music all the time. After finals, I make all kinds of playlists because I have more time and I make more of an effort to listen to new music instead of listening to a new song every now and then.

4. Hang out with your friends

Granted you do make time for your friends during the semester but now you have more time to hang out with all your favorite people. From going on adventures with them to just grabbing food. Spend as much time as you can with them.

5. Work

I know Iknow this sounds just as terrible as classes are but you know you gotta make money at some point. Breaks are the best time to do that because you can work all the hours and make enough money to be able to live (or at least try to) before next semester.

6. Go see a movie

It's really hard to go see movies during the semester let alone during finals. Now that the semester is over there's a lot more time to do all the fun things, like see a movie. Grab a group of friends and go see a movie. If you don't want to see any of the movies in theaters then grab a few friends and have a movie night.

7. Start a new show on Netflix

Everyone has a list of shows they've been meaning to watch. Now's your time. Watch as many of them as you can.

8. Travel

My favorite one on this list. I love traveling and the best part about doing it over break is that you don't have the all the work to come back too. Go explore a new city or even explore more of a city that you've been too.

9. Go to a concert or festival

So I am a big concertaholic but there are so many concerts and festivals especially in the summer. 10/10 would recommend going to a concert or a festival. There's just something about the atmosphere, I can't get enough of it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
