Here are eight things you need to do before graduating UO. It is important to make the most of your college experience because you only have four short years.

1. Attend a football game at Autzen Stadium

Football is not for everyone, but going to football game during college is a really great experience. Enjoy at least one game while you have the chance.

2. Float the Willamette River

The Willamette river may be freezing, but during summer it is tons of fun to get a group of friends and float down it.

3. Get a drink at Taylor's Bar and Grill

Taylor's is basically a right of passage for every University of Oregon college student, even if you don't like the bar scene. Maybe just go once so you can say you've been.

4. Hike Spencer's Butte

Spencer's Butte is a beautiful hike that everyone living in Eugene should experience at least once. It is even more special if you go at sunrise or sunset.

5. Attend a tailgate

Being a University student gives you free access to the art museum on campus, and honestly it has very interesting exhibits.

7. Attend a frat party

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
