Treat yourself after exams 

April 29, 2022

Exams are over! You just finished writing a paper or taking a final. You want to reward yourself, but you’re not sure how. We’ve got you covered with this choose-your-own-adventure leading you to the perfect end of term treat. 

You powered through writing a fifteen-page research paper 

Long papers deserve big celebrations. Feast to your accomplishments at Pritchard. Hunker down and eat … and eat and eat some more. You deserve that second (fifth) lemon bar. 

You just finished an exam, and you’re pretty sure you aced it 

Only the sweetest of treats to match the sweet, sweet confidence of knowing you probably aced that test. Grab yourself a ginger moon or pastry or slice of cake (or whatever sweet treat suits your fancy) at Tripke Bakery in Glenmore. Or choose all the above! 

You’re coming out of an exam you spent all night studying for 

Grab yourself a flavoured steamer and a chocolate croissant or petite scone from Starbucks. Have your treat and bliss out into the greatest nap of your life. 

You finished an exam that had all the content you didn’t study and none of the content you did 

This is a really unfortunate situation, but at least your girlfriend didn’t turn into the moon. Grab yourself some sushi and a cocktail at Kaya or some pub food and a beer at Grizzly Bear Bistro and Bar. Take heart knowing that you never have to do today again. 

You just finished the last exam or term paper of your degree 

Take a minute to be proud of yourself (and maybe do a little happy dance). Grab yourself an ice cream cone at Parlour, sit down by the lake, and toast to a great four years behind you and even better ones ahead.  

Congrats on finishing another semester at UBCO! Now go treat yourself!
