23 Things Every ASU Student Should Do Before Graduating

Vennage

Here is a list of all the things to do at ASU before graduation day arrives!

1. Dip your feet into the Old Main fountain

Have a photo shoot! Another place to have a photo shoot is in front of the Discovery Building and the Art section of the campus.

2. Hike A Mountain

Please don't graduate if you haven't been to the top.

3. Head over to Mill Ave.

A tradition for every 21+ year old.

4. Visit the top of Manzanita housing

Maybe even watch a football game from up there!

5. Go to a football game against U of A

The rivalry goes on!

6. Go to a tailgate!

7. Eat at Barrett dining and sit in the Harry Potter hall

8. Meet Michael Phelps

He works at ASU and many people have spotted him around the campus

9. Rent out the Vista Theatre and watch a movie

For every student who lived at Vista, this is a must do.

10. Go to an event put on by your CA

They work really hard!

11. Use the gym

It's in your tuition

12. Pull an all nighter

13. Rent a book out from Hayden

14. Join a lab / research

ASU hires some of the coolest professors around. Some of them have been to space. Others have multiple publications. Some are famous published writers.

15. Go to someone's office hours and get to know them

The professors at ASU are a hit or miss when it comes to teaching. However, these individuals are amazing and have wonderful life stories and careers that could really enlighten your knowledge of the world and help further your own. Get to know your teachers. They could also write stellar letters of recommendation.

16. Watch a play at Gammage

Sometimes the fees are reduced so go, go, go, go!

17. Go to a basketball game

They give out free shirts and so on so go get your tuition's worth.

18. Camp outside for Camp Fargo

It's a tradition and a great way to meet new people.

19. Visit the ASU Art Museum

It took me almost three years to go there. But, they have wonderful events such as "Escape the Museum" where the winners can win food and prizes.

20. Visit the Space Museum

They have super cool monthly events to encourage STEM education.

21. Visit a different campus.

ASU has many different campuses - each with a unique characteristic or unique activities. Visit another campus and see how life over there is. Downtown ASU is nearby the street known for 'First Friday'. It is also in the center of downtown Phoenix and quite nearby to some wonderful coffee shops and concert stadiums.

22. Go to an ASU concert.

ASU sponsors a concert every semester. Watch out and book your admission tickets.

23. Sit and eat with a random stranger

Welcome week of college is also a perfect time to make new friends. So sit with a random stranger and get to know them.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
