10 Things You Can Do To Relax Now That Finals Are Over

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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
