Midterms are arguably worst than finals. Think about it. After the misery, lack of sleep, stress and unattended Netflix queue that comes with finals, at least you have several weeks off to get over your exam PTSD. But with midterms you get all the late nights and test anxiety minus the potential beach vacation at the end. That just doesn’t seem fair.
However, if your college or university is “nice,” they give you fall break. While usually it is only a few days, we’ll take any and all days off from morning lectures they are willing to throw our way.
So while you may not be able to go on a full-fledged, stress-free vacation, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t live-it up during your fall break. Take a look at these creative ways to fill your time away from the library.
