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

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.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
