An Open Letter To The Graduating College Seniors

Dear Graduating College Seniors,

We officially made it! We successfully survived 4 years of college, 8 a.m. classes, 4 hour lectures, final exams, and impossible professors. It wasn't easy at all, but we did it! We embraced every moment, and will never forget our "home" for the past 4 years. I have one more week of classes, and then I'm done. I've been in school since I was 4 so I'm happy to be done!

This is such a huge accomplishment for us. I'm the first person in my family to have a Bachelor's Degree of higher. Graduation is an emotional experience for us and our family. We won't be with our friends a few times a week like we used to. Thankfully we're able to keep in contact with everyone.

You're probably getting the constant "What's next?" question. You might not have to answer to that right now and thats's fine. You have to figure out what you're passionate about and you'll be on your journey for the rest of your life. So much will change for you. Doors will open up, and you'll get to live your dream.

Everyone always said college would fly by, and there were right! I didn't expect it to fly by that fast. As we walk across that stage, 4 years will flash right before our eyes.

Congrats and good luck with everything in life! Cherish this moment, we earned it!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
