If you’ve already finished finals, CONGRATULATIONS! If you’re still in the midst of finals, at least you can spend your short study break dreaming of your impending freedom.

Dead week and exams can really get you into a funk. Even though both have passed, you may feel awkward with this new sense of free time and have a nagging feeling that it’s not over (although it is, you just retrained your brain with an abnormal week filled with cramming). It’s a weird sensation but remember: It’s officially over and that’s a cause for celebration! 

Below, I have listed all the best ways to celebrate the end of the semester (or not … no judgment).

After doing nothing but thinking about finals, reviews, presentations, and group projects, you deserve some much needed “me” time. Here’s a to-do list that will leave you feeling revived after your stressful week: 

• Sleep – Although science isn’t clear on whether it’s possible to catch up on missed sleep, there’s no denying that a long slumber will feel amazing! So indulge, you’ve earned it!
• Get a message – As a Groupon aficionado, I believe its time to splurge on that local massage deal.    
• Buy yourself a present – Just saying… College Fashion is filled with fashion advice and outfit ideas if you’re feeling spendy.
• Eat your favorite meal – We all scream for tacos and ice cream! (Okay, maybe it’s just me.) 
• Get yourself a mani/pedi – Nails on fleek!
• Netflix-binge on Lost in Space – I’ve been seeing the commercials all week and hope it will fill the void I have in my life for Stranger Things episodes.
