Winter graduation is finally upon us. We've waited since the Spring Commencement for this week to get here, to get our chance to walk across the stage and get our diploma. It's the last week of undergrad and there are plenty of things still left to do...
1. Stock up on coffee and energy drinks to get through finals, projects, papers, job interviews, and everything else the week might throw at you.
2. Try not to burn your apartment down.
3. Craft your graduation cap, after procrastinating for the last few weeks.
4. Eat at all of your favorite college town restaurants.
5. Drink of choice. Celebrate! You did it!
6. Don't run out of laundry detergent.
7. Pack everything you own into boxes.
8. Find a place to live post-graduation.
9. Take a nap when it all gets too stressful.
10. Mourn for leaving your best friends.
11. Take 100 pictures.
12. Plan graduation dinner with all of your family and friends.
13. Say you are going to do all of the things you've mentioned doing throughout your senior year, but never actually following through with them.
14. Walk through campus and take it all in.
15. Check your campus mailbox.
16. Turn in parking passes and apartment keys.
17. Cry because you're leaving your home for the past four years.
18. Go through all of your pictures from undergrad. Laugh at yourself and your friends. Cry because you miss the old times, and laugh again. Reminiscing through it all.
19. Celebrate because you survived undergrad.
20. Lastly, graduate.
Now, it's time to go and celebrate because we finally did it!
