I mean your torture is over and you have a one-month winter break.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/R65bZxLDrX2Mw\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  But then it hits you really hard: what do you do with your life now? All this free time is very new to you. You experience a loss of purpose. <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/c5gKu4AQ4Y64g\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  Next comes the withdrawal: this is the illogical guilt trip that your stupid brain plays on you. You\u2019re casually chilling watching TV, gaming, or out with friends and you get this sudden twinge that makes you feel like there\u2019s something that you should be doing (studying) when the truth is, you have nothing to do! You have to keep reminding yourself of that. I know, it\u2019s too good to believe! <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/33.media.tumblr.com\/dc2867e57968b630af20f723c71f6fb8\/tumblr_nkojh2r9v71u7qgjso1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  Then comes the binging. You binge on series, movies, and food; you spend the whole day in your pajamas, in bed, with junk food and chocolate wrappers all around. You even make excuses to avoid going out because you don\u2019t feel like leaving your bed or putting on a bra. It\u2019s okay, we\u2019re not judging. <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/eQPZmGYE2eUPm\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  Caving in to this vicious cycle is a major waste of vacation time which is why we\u2019re here to help you make the best of what you have; here\u2019s what you can do to overcome this post-finals blues: <\/p>\n<p>  <b>1.<\/b> Visit your grandparents or any other relative. I\u2019m sure they haven\u2019t seen you in a while and they\u2019ll really appreciate it; it\u2019ll make their day. Spend some quality time with them without your parents around, you\u2019ll learn so many new things about them and you\u2019ll cherish the times forever.<br \/>  <b>2.<\/b> Start up a new hobby. Get out of that bed and go discover yourself, try picking up guitar, piano, drawing, a foreign language. Anything! You need to work on improving yourself instead of turning into a worthless vacation-blob. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>3.<\/b> Go to the gym and get moving. Let\u2019s face it, we all put on a bit of weight during finals and the holidays. It\u2019s time to get in shape!<\/p>\n<p>  <b>4.<\/b> Try different cuisines, new restaurants, or even new Lebanese villages. Visit them all, try everything! This is probably the last time you\u2019ll be able to drop everything and go on random road trips with no work or family responsibilities, take advantage of it!<\/p>\n<p>  <b>5.<\/b> Get a part-time job. Earn some experience, work on developing your skills or take workshops. Follow DJ Khaled\u2019s Snapchat to get the motivation you need to pursue these suggested options. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>6.<\/b> Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/44591\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Lebanon\u2019s awesome museums <\/a> or art galleries, go to a poetry slam or a book signing. Do something you\u2019ve never done before to change up your routine.<\/big> <\/p>\n<p>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><big>We are all familiar with that wonderful feeling of being done with final exams; finally getting some sleep, throwing those books away, deleting all the notes pictures from your phone and so on\u2026But is it really that amazing? <\/p>\n<p>After being done with finals, you first experience an intense rush of relief and happiness!
