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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
