5 Things You Should Do Before You Graduate College

College is amazing! Its a place where you can discover yourself, make new friends as well as do things you would have never thought to do. Now that you are no longer under your parents roof for the next eight months, here are some things you should do before you graduate on to the real world.

1. Go to a party on a school night.

Its literally the best feeling in the world. You will feel as if you are living on the edge. Go ahead and get lit! You don't get to do this all the time. Your future morning self might not thank you but after you graduate, youll be glad you did!

2. Pull an all-nighter on finals week.

Finals week is literally the epitome of Hell. If you do not study your butt off, you can tell your professors you will see them next semester. It is imperative that you do all you can to ensure that you are ready for the final test. A little tip for this all nighter: Coffee and snacks are your best friends.

3. Use and abuse those college I.D. free perks.

Discounts on food, movies and supplies! Best believe you better use those perks! Because when you graduate, they disappear faster than your favorite dessert.

4. Ride the Drunk Bus.

You do not even have to be drunk to ride the drunk bus. It is provided not only for people who have had too much to drink but for people who do not have any transportation to said club. Its even hilarious to watch people make fools of themselves while drunk. I mean you can laugh at them because they aren't going to remember it tomorrow.

5. Join an organization.

Literally there are so many options for which organizations to join for everyone's needs. You can join multiple or even just one organization. Plus, through those organizations or fraternity/sororities, yo gain friendships/bonds that last a lifetime. I joined multiple and have never regretted that decision since.

So whether you are a freshman or a senior, I hope these tips will help you make the most of your undergrad experience!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
