14 Things All College Students Should Do Before Graduating

They say that the real world is just like college, but with no finals and worse drink specials. They also say that college is the best four years of your life and within a blink of an eye, it's over. That being said, make the most of your time in school with your friends before it's time to turn the tassel!

1. Do and say stupid college kid things that are only okay for stupid college kids to do and say.

2. Like only eating meals when cooking them is also known as reheating things in the microwave.

3. Day drink during your school's special day-drinking events because happy hour doesn't start until 5 p.m. in the real world.

4. If you haven't already been going to class looking like a homeless person, now is your last chance.

Everyone already knows that you can rock a pair of hoop earrings and thigh-high boots on the weekend anyway.

5. Take part in at least one crazy school tradition (streaking, jumping in the school fountain, etc.).

6. Be friends with anyone.

There is no time for cliques when the "best four years of your life" are about to come to an end.

7. Take advantage of being a top dog senior at least once.

8. Go to a party where you don't know anyone and meet someone new.

9. Take advantage of cheap college bar specials and go out and dance with all of your closest friends.

Especially on tables.

10. Go ahead and have a good old college one night stand.

No one's judging.

11. Cry because you're going to graduate college even if you don't know what to do next.

12. Smile because you're going to graduate college even if you don't know what to do next.


13. Don't forget to thank the people who helped you get through the past four years (friends, family, professors).

14. Celebrate that you will no longer be a broke college student, and will soon be a somewhat broke almost kind of an adult!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
