10 Things You Can Do To Relax Now That Finals Are Over

In This Article:

Once finals are over it is the best thing. You get to relax, stress is gone, and you don't have to worry about if anything is due, Here are 10 ways that you can relax and celebrate now that finals are over.

1. Sleep all day.

During finals we sometimes forget what sleep is, so after finals you deserve to sleep for however long you want. Late nights studying and working, you deserve your sleep.

2. Shop until you drop.

Giphy

Sometimes I take "treat yourself" too far but after a long week of finals who cares. Go out there and buy whatever you want. The key to not feeling bad is just keep telling yourself "I deserve it."

Go buy an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself.

3. Eat the food you want. 

Giphy

Listen, this one may be too far but again YOU DESERVE IT. Go out and eat whatever, during finals you may have forgot what food even looked like.

So go and buy yourself a large pizza, extra cheese, crust stuff, and enjoy,

4. Spa day. 

Giphy

Have your own spa day. Do face mask, put cucumbers on your eyes, soak your feet.

5. Reconnect with life. 

Giphy

Reconnect with life. During finals you may have forgot what outside looked like. Go outside, take a walk, breathe in the air, reconnect with friends.

6. It's ok, you don't have a paper due tomorrow. 

Giphy

Us college students automatically have a feeling that we have something due, but you don't! You are on break.

Try not to even think about school for at least a few days, trust me you are ok, you already turned in your last paper.

7. Reflect. 

Giphy

Reflect on yourself. Think about things you would do differently next semester, set goals for yourself,

8. Go buy presents. 

Giphy

Finals may have fuzzed your mind and you may have forgotten, but you do have to go get presents for your family for Christmas. I know, I know, this is your reminder.

9. Breathe child.  

Giphy

Breathe, I think us college students feel like we have to always be on our A-game, even on break.

10. Just in case you need to know. 

Giphy

Lastly, just in case you haven't heard it, GOOD JOB! You finished a semester of college which is an accomplishment. It does not matter if you did not get that 4.0 GPA you did your best!

I may not know you personally but from one college student to another I know you probably worked extra hard because sometimes college is extra hard.

You did it, keep going, and finish strong.

Enjoy your break, I hope you relax, and I hope the next semester is even better!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
