14 Things All College Students Should Do Before Graduating

They say that the real world is just like college, but with no finals and worse drink specials. They also say that college is the best four years of your life and within a blink of an eye, it's over. That being said, make the most of your time in school with your friends before it's time to turn the tassel!

1. Do and say stupid college kid things that are only okay for stupid college kids to do and say.

2. Like only eating meals when cooking them is also known as reheating things in the microwave.

3. Day drink during your school's special day-drinking events because happy hour doesn't start until 5 p.m. in the real world.

4. If you haven't already been going to class looking like a homeless person, now is your last chance.

Everyone already knows that you can rock a pair of hoop earrings and thigh-high boots on the weekend anyway.

5. Take part in at least one crazy school tradition (streaking, jumping in the school fountain, etc.).

6. Be friends with anyone.

There is no time for cliques when the "best four years of your life" are about to come to an end.

7. Take advantage of being a top dog senior at least once.

8. Go to a party where you don't know anyone and meet someone new.

9. Take advantage of cheap college bar specials and go out and dance with all of your closest friends.

Especially on tables.

10. Go ahead and have a good old college one night stand.

No one's judging.

11. Cry because you're going to graduate college even if you don't know what to do next.

12. Smile because you're going to graduate college even if you don't know what to do next.


13. Don't forget to thank the people who helped you get through the past four years (friends, family, professors).

14. Celebrate that you will no longer be a broke college student, and will soon be a somewhat broke almost kind of an adult!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
