It's the beginning of May, also known as the time period where if you take out your headphones, you'll hear the distant sound of people crying all around. No one enjoys finals week, but we all know our end-of-semester doom. After the lectures, thousands of PowerPoints and billions of papers, the time has come to prove to our professors we were not just playing Candy Crush the whole time (even though you probably were). During all of this cramming, you've probably contemplated many things other than taking that anatomy final.

1. Laying on a beach

Let's be real, who wouldn't enjoy this view?!

2. Napping

Seriously, what's better?

3. Planning concerts for the summer

Just you and the squad jamming out to the anthem of the summer. Just picture it!

4. Think of ways to be a millionaire without trying

5. Go to Disney

It's the happiest place on Earth, is there seriously any questioning on this one?
