11 Things You'll Do Post-Finals Week

Some are good. Some will make you wish you were back at school.

11 Things You'll Do Post-Finals Week
John Knox Community Preschool

Finishing the fall semester brings about the biggest feeling of relief. It's almost Christmas, you've finished an entire semester, and now you've got a whole month to whatever you would like. And if you're anything like the rest of us, here's 11 things you'll do immediately after finals week:

1. Sleeping

For about 15 hours straight.

2. Binge-watching an entire series on Netflix

Now that you've slept, it's time to catch up on "One Tree Hill." Seeing as it's been a whole week since your last "Netflix and chill," you've earned a good 12 hours in front of your computer screen.

3. Eating

Since your diet from the last week has consisted of coffee and food from the cafeteria that hasn't quite expired yet (but is coming pretty close), go ahead and put your eating pants on.

4. Last-minute Christmas shopping

No, wrapping yourself and gifting your presence to your parents does not count as a Christmas present.

5. Napping


Different from sleeping in that it's shorter, though you're probably still likely to sleep for two hours. But, unlike during finals week, there will be no panic that you accidentally fell asleep because you have nothing to do when you wake up!


6. Showering with actual water pressure (and without shoes!)

You forgot what it felt like to actually be able to get the conditioner out of your hair.

7. Re-learning how to drive a car

It's only been a month since Thanksgiving. It's like driving a bike, right?

8. Realizing that your local Dunkin Donuts doesn't take your school ID

People still carry cash?

9. And, more importantly, remembering that you actually have to drive somewhere to get coffee.

You mean I can't just walk to the student center for coffee?

10. Discovering that your inside jokes don't work at home


Your parents don't care when you say, "Oh, you had to be there!" And sorry, your siblings don't think you're funny either.

11. Slowly realizing that you don't actually have to be anywhere


What time is it? What day is it? Who even cares? No meetings, no classes, no schedule. Enjoy it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
