To all ye second-semester seniors at the University of Dayton,

The time has come for you to drag yourself out of the denial that is your impending graduation and make as much use of your time as possible. I know, I know, graduation is practically the doomsday of your college career, but that doesn't mean the rest of your semester has to suffer! Instead of focusing on how you might have to move back in with Mom and Dad, start doing all those things you dreamed of doing when you were a freshman. To get you started, here are ten ways to keep enjoying your last months at Dayton.

1. Complete the Milano's Challenge

The Milano's challenge is definitely one way to make the most out of Dayton next semester. By getting together a group of your friends or roommates and committing to go there every.single.day you are bound to have at least a little fun every week. On the plus side, if you win the challenge you get a sweatshirt!

2. Find your gym routine

Going to the gym might not have been a priority in your previous college semesters, but now that we are all mature adults, you can surely find time in your 12-credit schedule to hit the track. Getting into the habit of going to the gym every week will help you feel better as a whole and get you moving towards that Daytona bod.

3. Daytona!

Speaking of Daytona, this end of the year trip is a must for any graduating senior. It’s the one last hoorah of our college lives and a chance to see everyone one more time before we all go our separate ways.

4. Don't forget about school

Even though this is the last time we will be graded for anything in college, that doesn't mean that our classes don't matter and we shouldn't pay attention. While you might not necessarily "need" the grades, you can still get on your teacher's good side for future recommendation letters.

5. Meet Dr. Dan

He's been the president of our school since we got here, not to mention he crowd-surfed with us during the basketball tournament win sophomore year. This is one man we all need to shake hands with to complete the semester.

6. Get a job

This is the final hurdle to jump over before graduation. Getting this out of the way earlier in the semester will free you from the stress that everyone else is bound to feel when they are rushing to find a job mid-way through our senior year.

7. Make a shoutout at Timothy’s

This might not seem like that big of a deal, but when you’re feeling the hype this semester, what could be a better way of showing your love for the Disneyland that is Dayton.

8. Spark a convo with the Brown Street Pimp

We’ve all seen him riding around the Student Neighborhood and Brown Street on that bike of his, but have you all talked to the man behind the pimp hat? There must be some kind of story behind his iconic figure, so go rent a Rec bike and track him down!

9. Befriend Jan at The Deli

The good ole Deli... Where you can buy party essentials, rock solid gumballs, sandpaper toilet paper, and most importantly, where you can meet the lovely owner Jan. To complete your stay at Dayton make sure to pop on over to this one-of-a-kind store, maybe you'll get your picture on the wall. Good luck!

10. Go back to your freshman dorm

What is a better way of ending your college years by going back to the place where it all started? Go back to your first ever dorm room and see who lives there now. Who knows, maybe you'll hit it off and end up roaming the Ghetto together one night.
