College Bucket List

Have some fun in between the tears

College is the time to experience new things, mold your opinions, mess up a few times, and create your identity. Here are a few things I feel every student should do before walking across the stage.


1. Get to know someone from another country.

It’s pretty cool to get to know someone of a different culture than what you’re used to. Especially if that’s the only thing you’ve been exposed to. Get to know their norms, music tastes, food, home life, etc. You might find something you like or even get to visit them in the future. Plus, you then have connections around the world.


2. Get an internship.

Businesses really do look for experience in a resumé. It really is super important to have at least some idea of what you’re getting into after college. Whether it be getting coffee for the head boss lady or transferring data over to excel sheets for 5 hours, an internship could make or break an employer's decision to hire you.


3. Skip class every once in a while.

Attendance is a huge part of your grade in the class, yes. However, it’s not everything. You’ve had a rough weekend. You’re not really doing anything in class. Screw it dude. Sleep in for once. Your 8 a.m. teacher will understand. Take a mental health day, just don’t make it an every week habit.


4. Go out at least once.

Whether it be the bars or a simple house party, I suggest everyone go out with some friends at one point in their college career. It gives you a chance to socialize with a person you don’t normally socialize with. With that said, don’t go out EVERY WEEKEND. Take a weekend to yourself and just relax. You’ll thank yourself either way.


5. Don’t study for a test.

Go to bed early. You’ve been doing fine on all the tests thus far, one test will not drastically drop your grade in the class. (Check your syllabus before you take my word for it though) It’s not like your brain is going to function completely right on 3 hours of sleep anyways. Take the L, but also take pride in the fact you probably got more sleep than your classmates.


6. Keep at least one friend from high school.

There seems to be a stigma about staying friends with people from high school. It’s completely ridiculous. You guys were friends at one point for one reason or another. Don’t cut them off just because you found a couple new friends. They’re the ones who you talk to when you go home and keep you grounded.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
