If you're anything like me, the “G” word is creeping up a lot quicker than you want it to. And yes, I mean the awful word also known as GRADUATION. No one wants to hear you talk about it, yet it’s all we seem to talk about. With 5 weeks left, it seems impossible to ignore. Graduation is on its way, and there’s nothing we can do about it. Before graduating though, think about all of the things you said you wanted to do 4 years ago; have you done them all? If not, make a bucket list and don't hold back. My list is still growing with only a month left. As a Siena student, here’s a list of suggestions to put on your bucket list, and trust me you won’t regret it!
