Getting out for longer than an hour during the horrific weeks of finals is basically impossible. You sit at your desk all day eating microwaveable meals and watching a few too many YouTube videos during your study breaks. Then, you get on Facebook to see all the pictures of your friends who are already on break, eating home cooked meals, partying with friends, and posing in front of Christmas trees with their family. Don't worry, in a week or two, you won't have to hunch over a textbook until next year. Until then, take this time to think about all of the marvelous freedom you will have once your hell week is over.

1. You can sleep.

If you're lucky enough to have no additional responsibilities after finals are over, you get to sleep in! Imagine the magical moment when you get to jump into bed at night without setting any alarms and sleeping for a solid 8, 10, maybe even 12 hours. Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

2. No more canned or fast food.

You finally have time to cook yourself a meal that isn't full of preservatives. If you're back home with Mom and Dad, maybe you'll even get a nice home cooked meal from the parents.

3. Quit living under a rock.

Your 10-minute Twitter breaks haven't been enough to keep you in the know about everything that's happened since you started studying for finals. Go listen to all the new music releases, check out the new movies that are in theaters, catch up on celebrity gossip, current events, find out what new crazy thing Trump has said recently.

4. Treat yo self.

You've got bags under your eyes, you haven't washed your hair in forever, and you can barely remember what day it is. Go wash up, snuggle up under the covers and watch a Netflix series for a couple of days before you prepare to join the real world.

5. Rejoin your friends.

Go remind the friends that you have neglected for so long that you are still alive. Let them know you've survived the semester and you're ready to rejoin the world again.

6. Hug your pet.

Your pet dog/cat misses you! Show them some love, and prove that you haven't forgotten about their adorable, furry existence.

7. Visit your family.

Chances are, you really miss your family after a few months apart. You'd be surprised how much your little brothers and sisters have grown over the course of one semester.Take some time to go home and let your parents spoil you for a while like you're a kid again.

8. Engage in some holiday activities.

You finally get the chance to bust out your ugly Christmas sweater, drink some hot chocolate, watch some holiday movies, go visit your city's light display.

9. Wear some regular clothes.

You've been donning sweats and uncombed hair for far too long. Do some laundry, dress yourself up, and take pride in that awesome outfit that has been hiding in your dirty laundry basket since November.

10. Clean your room.

Get rid of all of those worksheets and empty water bottles that are littered across your floor. Your room is yours again! Don't let old course work continue to clutter your space.

11. Volunteer your time.

The holidays is a time to lend a hand to others in need. Now's your opportunity to do your part.

12. Satisfy your sweet tooth.

For the first time in months, that trip to Starbucks will be for pleasure, not necessity. Go get yourself a holiday treat, or if you're a baker, make yourself some sweets at home.

13. Do absolutely nothing.

For the next few weeks, you'll have zero worries. No assignment that you forgot needs to be turned in tomorrow, no tests to study for, no 8 am class, no 1 am panic attack. Just you and a blank schedule. Enjoy it, because it won't last.
