Let's be real, the four years fly by faster than you think they will. My parents just came to visit, and I had the overwhelming feeling that I wasn't taking in all the great things MSU has to offer. Everyone says that your college years are the best four years of your life and that you should grasp every opportunity that comes your way. So, I asked a some friends what they thought are the most important things to do before leaving Michigan State, and I compiled a bucket list from their responses. This list is not only for seniors graduating, but for every student, because these four years do go by extremely fast.

1. Participate in the midnight scream during finals week.
2. Attend at least one big sporting event such as a basketball or football game.
3. Go to a hockey game as well. They are actually a lot of fun.
4. Get bubble tea from Udon. You will love it.
5. Go to the MSU museum. It's free and something you should see before graduating.
6. Go to watch a movie at Wells Hall on the weekends. They usually play really great films!
7. Go to a concert at the Breslin.
8. Eat breakfast at Hannah's after a crazy Saturday night.

10. Participate on a bar crawl with your friends and parents.
