As any current or recently graduated student at Gonzaga might know, it’s hard to leave the beautiful campus we call home. Some (possible even most) of us would stay for an eternity if we could, and that’s why I have taken the liberty of creating a list of ways that any Zag might stay a Zag forever.

1. Keep failing or never take one of your required core classes.

Study like this.

2. Attend GU’s law school.

Channel your inner-Elle Woods, and it'll buy you two-three more years with the Zag fam.

3. Work for Sodexo in the COG.

COG cookies everyday of your life???

4. Join the priesthood or a convent.

If you love Jesus as much as you love Gonzaga, then this could be the perfect option for you!

5. Coach one of the athletic teams.

Gonzaga has a chess team right?

6. Teach at Gonzaga.

Dibs on being the next Zumba instructor!

7. Move to the Logan neighborhood permanently.

The Logan neighborhood is the perfect area for raising kids, and I hear that it's pretty quiet on Friday and Saturday nights.

8. Build a statue of yourself.

You might not technically be there, but a statue is the perfect way to show you're on campus in spirit. I hear they're only a couple thousand to build

9. Work for CAMPO or join the Logan police force.

Be the hero Gonzaga needs.

10. Be the next Thayne McCullough

Even though he’s irreplaceable, he is going to retire eventually. When that sad day comes, Gonzaga will be looking for somebody to fill his shoes. It’s gonna be a lot of pressure since he’s such a cool prez, but one of us has to do it, and you’d get the ultimate perk: staying at Gonzaga forever.

11. Spend your four years at the university wisely, and leave behind a legacy.

It’s cheesy, I know, but if you live your time at Gonzaga to the fullest-- soak up as much information as you possibly can, form intimate and authentic relationships, eat cookies every Wednesday at SubCo and figure out who you genuinely are-- then you’ll leave a piece of yourself behind, and you’ll never regret it..
