Five Things to Do After Exams

Forget all about exams and start off your summer break right!

Five Things to Do After Exams

Many of you might just be finishing exams or already done with exams. After weeks and weeks of doing almost nothing but studying, you might come out of exams and have no idea what to do with yourself. Here are 5 things you can do to get out of exam mode and into summer break mode.

1. Lie down and literally do nothing for as long as you can.

Yes, this does seem very silly. How many times did you actually want to do this at 1 am during exams, though? This is the first step to forgetting all about exams; trust me, you will feel like a brand new person.

2. Gather all of your textbooks/prep books, and throw them out.

Actually, don’ t throw them out, those were expensive. Maybe sell them online or to some friends; just make sure you cannot see them. A stack of books laying around will only serve as a constant reminder of your exams and keep you worrying about them.

3. Clean your room and make it a little more summer-y.

Get rid of all of those random crumpled up sheets of paper that are laying all over the ground. Change your bed sheets. Clean out all of those half-drunken water bottles, empty food wrappers and random broken pens all over the ground. Cleaning your room and changing it up a little bit will help you feel like you have a fresh start.

4. Plan a short trip with your friends and family to get your mind off of exams.

If getting rid of your textbooks and changing up your room wasn’t enough to forget about exams, plan a short trip. Grab a few friends and go on a camping trip or take a road trip to somewhere nearby. This is definitely a foolproof way to forget about anything exam-related.

5. Catch up on reading all of the books and watching all of the TV shows you missed while studying for exams.

There’s no need to restrain yourself from watching/reading anymore; you have all of the time in the world (at least until summer break is over) to do this. You need to reward yourself. After all, you did have excellent self-control when you studied your calculus instead of binge-watching Friends all night.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
