Your Finals Recovery Schedule

With no more school and stress in your life, how else would you spend your day?

Your Finals Recovery Schedule

Finals. It's the dreaded word that makes every college student physically cringe when they hear it. But after all that stressing, cramming, late nights, coffee as your only meal, and every other form of legal torture you put your body through is over, how does one recover? Well, this is the typical schedule of a recovering student, summer edition.

12:00 p.m.

FINALLY open your eyes and greet the world with a heartfelt grunt. Don't judge for how late it is, this is the first time in five days that you've spent more than five hours in your bed, because the other 19 hours of the day were spent at the library.

12:45 p.m.

You fell back asleep but this time you're up for good. Text your mom or someone to make you an actual meal, and not just coffee, Red Bull, and a hand full of chips, like the meal you are used to from the previous week.

1:00 p.m.

REAL FOOD. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Even if you've been eating five course meals all semester, nothing beats a home cooked meal from Mom.

1:30 p.m.

Back to bed for Netflix. You had to put your relationship on the back burner to make time to study. With the pesky act of responsibility gone you can focus on the finer things in life, like endless streaming.

7:00 p.m.

Time for round two of home cooked meals. And if you're like me, you request a meal a week in advance to keep you going through the grueling hours of work. Now you can celebrate.

8:00 p.m.

Time for socialization. Call some friends from high school and see how everyone is doing. Maybe even attempt to make plans.

8:07 p.m.

Give up on the idea of plans. It's back to the essentials, aka bed and Netflix. You are still recovering after all, and besides you can always try to be social again tomorrow.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
