To all the college seniors out there, I am sorry that you didn't get the ceremony you hoped for. I am sorry that you missed out on the last couple of months of your college life. But hear me out, all the work you did to get here did not go unnoticed. You guys are superstars!

That being said, the college seniors deserve something nice on their graduation. I have compiled a list of some items that every college senior will love.


1. Simple tool kit

Because every college graduate will need a screwdriver when they don't have one on hand. This small kit has everything they will need for simple fixes around their new house or apartment.

2. Fun coffee mugs

College students LIVE on coffee and caffeine. Help them by gifting them of some cute coffee mugs that they can show off!

3. A professional outfit

College graduates are applying for jobs, and most likely will need a professional outfit for interviews. Help get that expense out of the way.

4. A COVID-19 shirt

Classic. Graduation ceremonies wouldn't be the same without something coronavirus related.

5. A new suitcase

Hopefully by the time of graduation, they will be able to travel and have a good time with friends.

6. Gym membership

Help keep them active and healthy! Buy them a local gym membership so they don't have to worry about another monthly payment.

7. Money

Student debt. Loans. Books. Groceries. We are all broke, help us out.

8. AirPods

To block out any negativity. And look cool while doing so.

9. Wine glasses

After college, you know they will need to drink to forget. Trust me.

10. Custom map print of their college town

This is a super cute idea. You can have a map printed of their college town so that way it will always be with them.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
