5 Things You Should Do Before You Graduate College

College is amazing! Its a place where you can discover yourself, make new friends as well as do things you would have never thought to do. Now that you are no longer under your parents roof for the next eight months, here are some things you should do before you graduate on to the real world.

1. Go to a party on a school night.

Its literally the best feeling in the world. You will feel as if you are living on the edge. Go ahead and get lit! You don't get to do this all the time. Your future morning self might not thank you but after you graduate, youll be glad you did!

2. Pull an all-nighter on finals week.

Finals week is literally the epitome of Hell. If you do not study your butt off, you can tell your professors you will see them next semester. It is imperative that you do all you can to ensure that you are ready for the final test. A little tip for this all nighter: Coffee and snacks are your best friends.

3. Use and abuse those college I.D. free perks.

Discounts on food, movies and supplies! Best believe you better use those perks! Because when you graduate, they disappear faster than your favorite dessert.

4. Ride the Drunk Bus.

You do not even have to be drunk to ride the drunk bus. It is provided not only for people who have had too much to drink but for people who do not have any transportation to said club. Its even hilarious to watch people make fools of themselves while drunk. I mean you can laugh at them because they aren't going to remember it tomorrow.

5. Join an organization.

Literally there are so many options for which organizations to join for everyone's needs. You can join multiple or even just one organization. Plus, through those organizations or fraternity/sororities, yo gain friendships/bonds that last a lifetime. I joined multiple and have never regretted that decision since.

So whether you are a freshman or a senior, I hope these tips will help you make the most of your undergrad experience!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
