One of the first things to do after your last exam.
First, go do whatever you do to relax.
One of the things you should do soon after--even though it may sound unappealing--is to update your resume.
Update any activities you have been involved in while the experience is still fresh in your mind. That way you can have precise, eloquent bullets. As an added bonus, working on a resume also allows you to reflect on the experience so you get the most learning possible out of the deal.
So, maybe in a week or two, crack open your computer and spend a bit of time working on your resume!

Some Cool Sites/Blogs
Today was a slow day at the Career Center. A few of us--Lainie, Scott, Dhruv, Nick, Jason, Amy and I--had a conversation about cool blogs/websites to follow as a result. Here's a summary of some of our favorite picks.
Brazen Careerist - http://www.brazencareerist.com: This is one of Scott's favorites. In a nutshell think Gen Y + Careers.
LifeHacker - http://www.lifehacker.com: They tag themselves as "tips and downloads for getting things done."
tsuch.net - http://www.tsuch.net: Scott's blog. He's been featured on Brazen Careerist!
The Sartorialist - http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com: A great style site with lots of photos. I secretly wish I was hip enough to be on this blog.
failblog - http://www.failblog.org: A good laugh.
Mint - http://www.mint.com: Consolidate your online banking. Read up on security concerns to make sure you're comfortable with it, though.
TED - http://www.TED.com: Many of the worlds coolest thinkers giving easy to understand talks about their ideas.
Zen Habits - http://www.zenhabits.net: Little things to make your life more livable.

Wrapping things up
Here's a quick thought to graduating seniors:tie up loose ends.
As you move from this University, I hope you all are cementing the meaningful relatiaonships that you developed here--I certainly am. This applies to friendships, significant others and colleagues. However, this applies professionally too.
Take the time to thank mentors, professors and advisers. Not only will it help you process the end of your undergraduate/graduate studies but it signals a commitment to continuing your relationship with those people in the future.
