The end of the year is here and that means it's time for work overload. As exciting as summer anticipation is, there is nothing nicer than taking a break and enjoying Chapel Hill. If procrastination is your favorite pass time, here are 10 places you can enjoy so you don't spend every second crying in Davis.

1. Getting ice cream at Mapleview

I scream, you scream....we all scream because finals are coming and all we need is ice cream and a great view.

2. Hanging with friends on Craig Deck

Overlook the campus and enjoy a spring night all while avoiding your responsibilities.

3. Soaking up the sun at Jordan Lake

Bring an Eno or a book or a football. Take a break and visit the lake.

4. Playing with a puppy on the quad

Puppies solve everything. 20 minutes with a puppy will do the same as 2 hours of studying.

5. Getting lunch at Sutton's

There is no better Chapel Hill tradition than a good hot dog at Suttons. Maybe Sutton's works as a form of finals osmosis. See friends, get good food, ace your exams.

6. Taking a day trip to the beach

I personally think I'll learn more from the ocean than from my textbook. Sounds productive to me.

7. Enjoying coffee at Perennial

Talk. Enjoy. Spend time together. Don't study. There's nothing nicer than a pretty day and the atmosphere and a good cup of coffee at Perennial.

8. Seeing a concert in Carrboro

They don't even have to be good artists, they just have to be singing, or sitting, or doing anything other than studying.

9. Rushing Franklin

Okay, so maybe basketball season is over...but I'd still rather be doing this than sitting in Davis.

10. Taking a nap

Instagram @uncchapelhill

We need sleep. Doesn't that qualify as finals studying and mental health care?

Finals season is the WORST. If you really feel like you can't spend one more minute in Davis, here are 10 things you would benefit more from doing. Study hard. Play hard. Ace your finals and enjoy your summer.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
