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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
