Once finals are over it is the best thing. You get to relax, stress is gone, and you don't have to worry about if anything is due, Here are 10 ways that you can relax and celebrate now that finals are over.

1. Sleep all day.

Giphy

During finals we sometimes forget what sleep is, so after finals you deserve to sleep for however long you want. Late nights studying and working, you deserve your sleep.

2. Shop until you drop.

Giphy

Sometimes I take "treat yourself" too far but after a long week of finals who cares. Go out there and buy whatever you want. The key to not feeling bad is just keep telling yourself "I deserve it."

Go buy an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself.

3. Eat the food you want. 

Giphy

Listen, this one may be too far but again YOU DESERVE IT. Go out and eat whatever, during finals you may have forgot what food even looked like.

So go and buy yourself a large pizza, extra cheese, crust stuff, and enjoy,

4. Spa day. 

Giphy

Have your own spa day. Do face mask, put cucumbers on your eyes, soak your feet.

5. Reconnect with life. 

Giphy

Reconnect with life. During finals you may have forgot what outside looked like. Go outside, take a walk, breathe in the air, reconnect with friends.

6. It's ok, you don't have a paper due tomorrow. 

Giphy

Us college students automatically have a feeling that we have something due, but you don't! You are on break.

Try not to even think about school for at least a few days, trust me you are ok, you already turned in your last paper.

7. Reflect. 

Giphy

Reflect on yourself. Think about things you would do differently next semester, set goals for yourself,

8. Go buy presents. 

Giphy

Finals may have fuzzed your mind and you may have forgotten, but you do have to go get presents for your family for Christmas. I know, I know, this is your reminder.

9. Breathe child.  

Giphy

Breathe, I think us college students feel like we have to always be on our A-game, even on break.

10. Just in case you need to know. 

Giphy

Lastly, just in case you haven't heard it, GOOD JOB! You finished a semester of college which is an accomplishment. It does not matter if you did not get that 4.0 GPA you did your best!

I may not know you personally but from one college student to another I know you probably worked extra hard because sometimes college is extra hard.

You did it, keep going, and finish strong.

Enjoy your break, I hope you relax, and I hope the next semester is even better!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
