So you're done with finals...

Sometimes during finals you luck out. Your professors turn out to be super lazy and test you on the last day of class, or maybe they ask for a poster or paper instead because they don't want to stay into May. Whatever the case, you may be done, but obvs don't want to leave campus before your friends because you won't see them all summer. Your friends will be busy but it's still worth it to stay if there are opportunities for you to see your friends. I have graciously compiled a list of five things you can do if you are in this somewhat boring situation.

1. Watch cool National Geographic shows. I know every time you go onto Netflix you are extremely tempted to watch the ridiculous documentaries. Lucky for you, they are only about 40 minutes long usually so you can watch at least 10 of them while you're waiting for your friends to get out of the libs. I would definitely suggest Shark Superhighway and Supercroc. If you want to hang out with your friends while they are struggling to learn their accounting or Spanish, you should just bring your laptop and watch them in the libs. If anyone asks what on earth you are doing, you can simply say you are using it as a source for your paper :)

2. In some parts of the United States, squirrels aren't scampering around everywhere. However, you might be fortunate enough to live on a campus where they do. During the school year you don't have time to watch these awesome little animals play, but when there's nothing better to do, I definitely suggest you walk a little bit slower.

3. The libs is a great place even if you have nothing to do. You can see your friends, stalk people on Facebook, catch up on your television shows, read an awesome children's book, get a smoothie, write a blog, look at magazines, and color in your coloring book, among other things.

4. If you are usually concerned about there not being lounge chairs available at the pool, there definitely will be some during finals. In fact, you will probably be the only person there. If you are self-conscious about your lack of swimming abilities, this is the perfect time to go. However, if you enjoy being social, chances are you won't run into anybody at the pool.

5. Definitely take the time to enjoy the outdoors by going to a local playground to swing on the swing set. It's often difficult to pull your friends away from their studies to do such an activity, but it's imperative that you convince them it's a good study break so you don't have to go by yourself.

*If you find yourself repeating any of these activities, or even completing this list, I suggest that you suck it up and go home. You obviously aren't living up your last few days of college and any of these things can be done basically anywhere you are, whether you are at a university or not. Use the time you are wasting to pack up your stuff, say your goodbyes, and look forward to what is hopefully an exciting summer and next semester.
