If you haven’t been able to tell yet, our main goal is to make your finals week as easy and smooth as possible! We’ve given you study tips, outfit ideas, a playlist, and now we are giving you ways to sail through finals and start celebrating your summer break. This article would not be possible without our amazing sponsors and of course Her Campus Nationals! Collegiettes, it’s time to take a study break, or if your officially done with finals, take your summer break and celebrate your life and amazing second semester with these 5 ways!

1.     Go shopping with boohoo.com!

Not only will you stay dry during the predicted scattered thunderstorms we’re supposed to have all week with boohoo’s cute pink ponchos, but boohoo also wants to help you celebrate your summer with their newest campaign #WeAreUSA. This campaign is all about you being unapologetically you, and is inspired by an American summerscene and captures the essence of youth. They’ve partnered with actress Bell Thorne as WeAreNow, Rapper Angel Haze as WeAreBold, DJ Hannah Bronfman as WeAreFit, and model Chloe Norgaard as WeAreFree. For my summer I want to help represent WeAreFit and WeAreFree, living a healthy and sponteous summer! What about you ladies? Which personality best represents you?

2.     Eat, sleep, and breathe Her Campus!

As you finish your finals and head into your summer break, don’t forget to represent Her Campus with fun keychains and stickers!
