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!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
