Your Finals Recovery Schedule

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.

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!
