Here Are 12 Ways To Celebrate Final Exams Completion

Finals week is a time where the last thing on our minds is our appearance, our health, and our sanity.

The wave of relief that we feel after we have finished all of our exams is truly alleviating, but it doesn't have to stop there. Here are 12 things that you should go the extra mile for, in order to celebrate your accomplishments:

1. Mask On

There's this meme that says that despite the hell you are going through, a face mask seems to be the band-aid to your problems. Well, as soon as you're done with finals you have the perfect excuse to sit back and lay a sheet or clay on your face. Do it.

2. Netflix won't be watched nervously

If you didn't have time to binge watch your favorite Netflix series while you were studying (or you watched it nervously while procrastinating then) now you can enjoy it without having that little devil on your shoulder steering you towards bad decisions.

3. F is for friends who hang out together

It's difficult to make time to hang out with your friends when your life for a week or two is spent with your face fixated on study material. Text your friends and plan a night out to celebrate! One of the greatest relaxation techniques is a good ol' laugh with your friends.

4. Never too old for bubbles

A bubble bath is sure to help you relax physically and mentally. Bubbles is also a plus, am I right?

5. A little drink never hurt anybody

Wine not?

*Please drink legally and responsibly.*

6. Cuddles for days

A good cuddle with a significant other, a friend, or a pet will be sure to make your brain happy.

7. Massage day

Splurging on a relaxing deep tissue massage is a gift from above. After spending days carrying around books and backpacks, your body, especially your back, will thank you for such luxury.

8. Get your sweat on

If you missed gym days or just don't do the gym at all, exercising is a great stress reliever and an awesome way to get your adrenaline going. Now get on that treadmill and run like you're running away from your problems.

9. Time alone is time well spent

A break from the outside world and social media is needed to balance your energy levels. Do it and don't feel guilty about it. You deserve it.

10. Memes

Do I need to say more?

11. Now walk it out

Put your headphones on and go for a walk. Or even better, enjoy your surroundings and put the phone aside for a little while.

12. Plan a mini vacation

You deserve to go away for a little bit. There are websites where you can find flights at a good price for students.

You got through a semester's worth of heavy coursework, great job! Now go and enjoy the freedom of being school work free!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
