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

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.

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

5. Reconnect with life.

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!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
