As the end of the semester approaches, most students are so focused on finals that they forget about a few things they need to do before grades are finalized.

Get pumped

As much as you hate to admit it, you have a significant to-do list for the next few weeks that keeps getting longer for some strange reason. Between the studying and everything else you have to do, you might as well boost your energy by any (legal) means possible. Especially since you'll be living in the library this week.

Study

This one should be obvious but there are quite a few of us who do a fantastic job of procrastinating. I think the stress of learning everything the night before gives us an adrenaline rush. Nevertheless, don't forget to hit the books. After you calculate the lowest possible grade you could get on the exam and still pass.

Clean

Now you could ignore this one but hear me out. Do you really want to come back to a room that smells like who knows what because you were too lazy to clean your room? It doesn't have to be a thorough cleaning but it's a good idea to be productive at the end of the semester.

Talk to the person that you only speak to in class

You know, the one you've had your eye on since the second day but haven't had the guts to say anything that wasn't class related. This may be your last chance so take the plunge.

Make plans for winter break

Celebrate your temporary freedom from papers, textbooks, and lectures. Hang out with those 3 friends you still have from high school by having some impromptu adventures at 2 in the morning. Make the best of your time off before the spring semester starts and you have to do this all over again.

There's probably a few more things you should do before the semester draws to a close but don't worry, I'm sure you'll remember it all... Eventually.
