With such little time to prepare for finals week, everyone is on the verge of losing their sanity trying to salvage their grades and re-learn a semester-worth of material for five classes all at once. And, let's be honest, you know you told yourself you'd start studying during Thanksgiving break, but that plan went down the drain the second you got home. There's no point in getting mad at yourself now.

It's going to be rough for the next week or two. But, once finals week is done and over with, you can be responsibility-free again! We all know we're going to barely make it out alive, but there are ways to cope after!

1. Catch up on your sleep

Finals week got you sleeping for only a few hours. Now that it's over, go ahead and sleep all day, every day! You deserve it!

2. Eat anything and everything your heart desire

If any of our grandmas found out we'd been living off ramen and coffee, she won't be too happy. Have yourself some great food and devour it. You've been deprived of proper meals, anyway!

3. Go shopping

Spoil yourself! You have to reward yourself for all that hard work you did. It's a pretty solid reason to do some damage to your bank account.

4. Binge-watch multiple shows

What's better than being a couch potato and starting new shows or catching up on your favorite ones? You've got nothing else to do for now, so why not take advantage of that!

5. Hang out with your friends

We've been away from our friends for some months. Some of us suck at keeping in touch and checking up on each other. We've all been busy, but that's not an excuse anymore. Make plans with the squad and and catch up with one another!

6. Go on a trip

If you've still got some extra money, treat yourself again! Go somewhere fun and relaxing. Sitting at home can get tiring!

7. Spend some quality time with your family

You've missed them. As much as you might not want to admit it, you actually missed living under the same roof as them. Go grocery shopping with your mom, watch sports with your dad, hang out with your siblings, or have dinner together.

8. Start hitting the gym again

Remember when you were so good about working out, but then school decided to get in the way? Now that you're on break, go and sweat all that stress out! Get those gains!

9. Shoot your shot

Oh, you know what I mean. You think you've forgotten about that one person, but I'll bet you didn't. You've got a lot of time now! No more excuses about being so busy.

10. Enjoy the company of your pets

Cuddle with your dog or cat or both! Pets always know how to make us feel better.

11. Go in hibernation mode

Finally, if needed, do the extreme. Go in full hibernation mode. If your finals screwed you up pretty badly, this is the perfect option. You'll feel like a completely different person after!

Finals week got the best of us. It did a lot of damage as per usual. But, we made it out alive somehow. It's time to destress and enjoy life once again!
