A Comprehensive Guide To What It's Like Going Out As A College Senior
Michael Discenza

After a long week—or in some cases three days—of classes, exams, and group projects, going out to the bar with your friends is an absolute must. Besides the fact that it’s an easy way to destress, have a little fun, and meet tons of people, going out is a part of the college culture. As senior, you want to take advantage of nights like these as much as you can. And while sometimes the nights can go a little off plan, usually, this is what a night out in college looks like.

4:00pm: Finally done with classes and in need of a nap before the long night ahead.


5:30pm: Wake up groggily from a semi-decent slumber and emerge into the kitchen to scrape up something for dinner. (obvi, one with a lot of substance)


6:30pm: Start texting everyone you know to see what time they’re going to the only fun bar on campus.


6:45pm: Congregate with the roomies to figure out the best plan of action for the night


7:00pm: Turn on some Netflix because let’s be real, you’re going to procrastinate the long transformation ahead as long as you can.


8:00pm: Peel yourself off the couch because your eager roommates start blasting music as the cue to get the f**k ready!


8:10pm: Turn on the straightener/curler and start diving into the production that is makeup.


9:15pm: Throw your entire dresser drawer on your bed in search for the hottest yet most comfortable outfit to strut your stuff in—challenge of the night.


9:30pm: Start getting harassed by your impatient roommates to hurry up because you’re so obviously procrastinating the drinking process.


9:35pm: Synchronized shots and busting out the best dance moves you’ll shimmy out all night commences


10:10pm: The dreaded “the line is out the door” text comes as you scramble to put together a bag for the night.


10:15pm: Leave the apartment, as you now start feeling some type of way, to hit up the hour-long bar line.


11:00pm: Finally getting inside in the bar, ordering drinks, grooving to the music, and chatting up every person you see. This is your time to shine!


12:30am: You’ve hit a wall; your feet are swelling, you keep swaying, and nobody around you are speaking coherently.


1:00am: You round up the troops because the bar is closing and it’s time for the best part of the night.


1:15am: You and your crew stagger into the closest pizza, fast-food, greasiest place on campus and order a regrettable amount of food.


1:45am: Huddling around your kitchen table, the paramount part of the night commences—ravenous eating until it ends with everyone in a comatose, zombie state.


2:30am: You stand up in your spent state of mind, body, and soul and ship yourself off to your bedroom for a rough night of sleep.


11:00am: Everyone surfaces from their bedrooms and slouches on the couch for an hour of rehashing the night and eventually crawling to get much-need bagels (as if our 1 am pizza wasn’t enough).

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
