As we get down to the last few days of my final semester, there are many emotions I have flying around. Mostly I'm feeling somewhere between apathetic and panicked, so I've decided to create a list. Not a list of "How do I get a job" or "Realistic ways to start paying off school loans," but something less practical and more fun - a Senior Year Bucket List.
Simple as that, I'd like to share my list of things I want to accomplish in Grove City, PA before I pack up and head off to the "real world" with you. Hopefully this can inspire you to make the most of your final days as a student as well.
1. Skip a full day of class to do nothing but watch movies (you won't be able to skip work just for funsies, so do it while you still can).
2. Go on a spontaneous road trip somewhere close by and possibly skip class to do so.
3. Eat nothing but pizza for four days straight (because what other time will this be acceptable outside of college?).
4. Wear your PJs to class for a whole week (again, your boss probably won't let you show up at work in PJs, so why not now?).
5. Get super dressed up with all your friends and go to McDonald's for the classiest fast food meal you've ever had.
6. Write a note to your favorite professors telling them how much you appreciate them.
7. Search for restaurants, stores, movies, etc. that have student discounts and use ALL OF THEM (because soon your ID won't matter).
8. Go into every building on campus and leave a small note somewhere for someone to find.
9. Go out every night for a full week (even if it's just for pie at 3 a.m., no judgment).
10. Do something really nice for a complete stranger.
My freshman year was rough, and one day I was sitting outside by myself just kind of loathing, stressing and being a freshman, when suddenly some guy came up to me with a Reese's. He said, "Hey, I know you don't know me, but I saw you earlier and you looked upset, so I went and got you this Reese's. If you need anything, just know I'm praying for you and whatever's going on, it's going to be okay." That was an experience I will truly cherish because it was so great to experience random kindness.
Anyways, good luck crossing each of these off your lists in the next few weeks. Best of luck as the end of the semester approaches!
