Everyone’s favorite time of year is finally here: Finals! Finals season tortures students with a feeling of impending doom as they prepare for a few three-hour exams and a whole three months without their friends. You could study, but here’s a list of 30 things that are equally important that you should do during finals season, too.
1. Watch every cooking video you can on Facebook.
2. Make a new summer playlist.
3. Wait outside the Meatball Obsession stand until it finally opens.
4. Learn all the lyrics to "Hamilton" (seriously, do it).
Can't relate.
5. Sit in the dining hall all day and pay for everyone's meals (@freshmangirls).
6. Pack up your entire room.
7. Realize you're not leaving for two more weeks and unpack everything because you still need it.
8. Tag your roommate in every single "tag someone who is a..." picture.
9. Call your parents/siblings/grandparents/distant cousins/anyone who will talk to you.
10. Go on walks in the surrounding area of campus just to find dogs to pet.
11. Spend hours on Pinterest planning what your room will look like next year.
12. Send pictures of yourself with funny Snapchat filters to random people on your contact list.
13. Go on romantic dates with yourself to White Mountain and walk around the Res at sunset.
14. Collect good reaction gifs.
An example inspired by finals.
15. Write a super long email to your professor begging to get out of your final (bonus points for using your newly acquired reaction gifs).
16. Stalk yourself on every social media platform.
17. Watch makeup tutorials and fail miserably when you try to do them.
18. Comment on all your friends' awkward introductions from senior year in your class Facebook group.
19. Have a small panic attack because you have so much work to do.
20. Stop the panic attack, pretend your work doesn't exist, and avoid your problems.
21. Research every good brunch place near campus.
22. Have Wine Wednesday no matter what day of the week it is.
23. Play MASH with your friends for hours to plan your future.
24. Lay outside and get a nice tan/sunburn.
25. Send funny pictures to random usernames' print queues.
26. Look through every picture you have from the entire school year.
27. Cry.
28. Wait in line at Eagles over and over again until Maria knows your name.
29. Convince your parents that you can't see any of your grades until after you graduate.
30. Even better, convince them that your school actually doesn't have finals so they can come pick you up now.
