20 Things To Accomplish Before You Graduate Ramapo College
Emma Thor

College is the best four years of your life. Cherish those moments. I am going into my senior year of college. I don't want to leave. Here is a bucket lIst that every future roadrunner should accomplish:

1. Take a hike to Ramapo Reservation

It is right across the street from the college. The trails range from moderate to strenuous. Great to de-stress from school and a photography dream location.

2. Nicky's Pizza

At almost every Ramapo event, there is always Nicky's Pizza. This pizza place is located in Suffern, NY. If there isn't pizza, there is their penne vodka, garlic knots and salads.

3. Take a picture with the school mascot.

Every student has to take a picture with the mascot.

4. Broadway show trip

The school sells discounted Broadway shows at reasonable prices. You can bring family members, too. You can see a show for $40 when in reality the tickets cost $200.

5. Do a service trip with the CCEC ( Civic Community Engagement Center).

Service trips range from helping out at daycare center House on the Hill, serving food at Eva's Kitchen, and tutoring kids at Teaneck Tutoring.

6. Late Night Dining

Dining services has a special time at night where from 10 to 1am there are chicken patties, fries, and burgers served. Whether you are craving junk food or need a break from studying, late night's got you covered.

7. President Mercer Selfie

It is a major goal to get a selfie with the college president. Few have taken a selfie with him at graduation.

8. Popcorn from Jlees.

The popcorn is free. Jlees is the commuter lounge that has pool tables and video games. Jlees is known for their free popcorn. Nice to grab some popcorn between classes.

9. CPB events

Coffee house, painting, stuff a plush, superbowl screening.

10. Stateline Diner

A 24 hour diner and all day breakfast.

11. Brother Bruno Pizza Bagels: Desert Pizza

Instagram worthy.

12. Sunset picture from ASB (Ainsfield School of Business)

13. Demarest Farms

A popular apple picking and pumpkin picking farm.

14. Arch Picture

Whether it is in the fall, winter, or spring, taking a photo of the arch is key.

15. Snapchat a picture of a ramahog or deer.

16. Study outside in the Pine, Laurel, and Linden quad.

Once it's nice weather, every college student is out playing frisbee, blasting music, barbecuing.

17. Charlotte selfie

Every Ramapo student can attest to their encounters with Charlotte. She is the queen of the dining hall.

18. Take the shuttle to Interstate shopping center and the mall.

Transportation is free. Interstate shopping center is home to Shop Rite, Michaels, Dunkin Donuts, Chiptole, and more.

19. Take two credit courses.

Like scuba diving or a yoga class.

20. Take control of free shirts.

Many events will have free t-shirts. It becomes half of your wardrobe as a college student.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
