Finals are FINALly over with and I couldn't be happier! It's been a tedious and tough semester of stress, an overwhelming amount of work, and overthinking. Here are a few ways you and your friends can celebrate the end of finals week and the start of a brand new summer!

1. A Picnic!

Homemade snacks and lunch, some cold colas, and a speaker are all you need for your next picnic. The best part is that you can do this straight after your last final exam.

2. A "Getting rid of all these notes" Party

Gather ALL of your notes for each of your classes this semester and ask your friends to do the same. Meet up, shred those notes or get a fresh new garbage pack and throw it all in while listening to empowering music.

3. Karaoke Night

Sing your heart away to a prepared list of music you've been wanting to jam to! Anything from "Breaking Free" to "School's Out".

4. A Trip to Your Favorite Beach

Beach please, what's a better way to celebrate the end of finals? Imagine yourself playing volleyball with your besties on the beach, sipping from a vita coco juice-box, and swimming away from life problems. Sounds pretty relaxing, right?

5. A Sleepover or Getaway

Talk about everything that happened this semester or how you once managed to fit in a 2-minute nap during that break you were allowed to get in your block class, haha. Or better yet, go on a spontaneous adventure or getaway with your friends, perhaps somewhere upstate to celebrate nature and the coming of summer.
