The semester is almost over. And we all know what that means… FINALS! But after the stresses of finals are finally (haha get it… FINAL-ly) over, you are able to relax. I know that it seems a far ways away right now, and if you are having trouble looking past the inevitable finals here are some things to look forward to:
1. Graduation
Whether you are graduating yourself or you have friends who are graduating, this is an exciting time for everyone. Graduating symbolizes the mark of finishing something you have worked so hard for. Even though I am not graduating this semester, the thought of graduation makes me think that I am one step closer to that milestone as well.
2. Vacation
Summer is a time for getting away, having fun, and relaxing before another school year starts again. Going on a vacation is an excellent way to celebrate the end of finals. Vacations let you have a fun, relaxing time without thinking about school or work.
3. Staycation
However, if a vacation is not in the cards for you, a staycation is always an option. You don’t have to go far to have a nice, relaxing time. Having a nice spa day at home or even a girls night with junk food and movies will still help you relax.
4. Traveling Abroad
One way to forget all about finals is to travel abroad. Whether it is with a Study Abroad program or with some friends, exploring the world will make you forget all about how stressful finals were. Getting to see different countries and learning about different cultures are things that everyone should experience, and summer is the perfect time to do that.
5. Next Semester
I know the thought of the next semester might not seem like something to look forward to right now, but once finals are over and you are on your summer vacation, you will start to miss the joy of school. Seeing your friends and having fun on campus is always something to look forward to.
So study for those finals and have a great summer break. See you next year.
