You are FINALLY done with your last final of the semester. That means no more late nights and no more early mornings fueled by energy drinks and the fear of failing. Now you can just put your feet up and relax until spring semester rolls around ...
But what are you supposed to do with all this free time?! Here are some suggestions:
1. Sleep: We all know that in these past two weeks, everyone has probably slept for only four hours a night; but since finals are over, sleep and stay in bed as long as you want.
2. Eat a big meal: Exam week is the toughest when it comes to eating, because in reality, the only real substance we get is from the free food in the Union — and the several Red Bulls you just shot-gunned before walking into the library. Now you can finally pig out on whatever you want, and no one will judge you ... I promise.
3. Burn your books: AKA sell them back for a whopping $5 ... or actually burn them. Your call.
4. Go out one last time: Your semester is finally over and you need to send it off with a big bang ... one that you will never remember.
5. Host a party: If you don’t go out, why don’t you just stay in and host your own party? Everyone needs to unwind after a tough week of exams.
6. Go outside: Exam week makes me feel like I’m a bear in hibernation because I never leave unless I have to go take an actual exam. You deserve some fresh air.
7. Go to the beach: If you are a native Floridian, then going to beach is a year round affair — but for some reason, going to the beach after your finals are done just feels a little bit better.
8. Surf the internet without feeling guilty: We are all aware that you still used your Facebook during the times you were supposed to study. Now you can do it without a single ounce of guilt.
9. Shred those notes: You're done with the course; what else are you going to use those notes for? Might as well make them into confetti and celebrate the fact that your survived another semester.
10. Thank that one classmate: In every class, you will always make that one friend that you can always count on and honestly, the notes you used to study for the final were most likely theirs; so tell them thanks and give them back their notes.
11. Hit the gym: After this week, your brain will be jacked, so you might as well hit the weights so your physical strength can match your intellectual strength. Maybe.
12. Pray: Just because exams are done, doesn’t mean that you passed ... so pray to whatever God or deity you believe in and hope that all those all-nighters paid off.
