Finals. It's the dreaded word that makes every college student physically cringe when they hear it. But after all that stressing, cramming, late nights, coffee as your only meal, and every other form of legal torture you put your body through is over, how does one recover? Well, this is the typical schedule of a recovering student, summer edition.
12:00 p.m.
FINALLY open your eyes and greet the world with a heartfelt grunt. Don't judge for how late it is, this is the first time in five days that you've spent more than five hours in your bed, because the other 19 hours of the day were spent at the library.
12:45 p.m.
You fell back asleep but this time you're up for good. Text your mom or someone to make you an actual meal, and not just coffee, Red Bull, and a hand full of chips, like the meal you are used to from the previous week.
1:00 p.m.
REAL FOOD. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Even if you've been eating five course meals all semester, nothing beats a home cooked meal from Mom.
1:30 p.m.
Back to bed for Netflix. You had to put your relationship on the back burner to make time to study. With the pesky act of responsibility gone you can focus on the finer things in life, like endless streaming.
7:00 p.m.
Time for round two of home cooked meals. And if you're like me, you request a meal a week in advance to keep you going through the grueling hours of work. Now you can celebrate.
8:00 p.m.
Time for socialization. Call some friends from high school and see how everyone is doing. Maybe even attempt to make plans.
8:07 p.m.
Give up on the idea of plans. It's back to the essentials, aka bed and Netflix. You are still recovering after all, and besides you can always try to be social again tomorrow.
