The Graduation Bucket List
Gina Petruzzi

If you are a senior in college, you know the struggle. You wake up every single day and there is one less day that you have before you walk across that stage and receive that diploma that you have been working your butt off for for the last four years. The days are going to fly by the closer you get to graduation. Don't let it creep up on you and then BAM! you have hit your graduation day. Make every day count up until you walk across that stage. Create a bucket list and accomplish each and every thing on it. Make the bucket list, complete the task, cross it off, enjoy the time you have left before you walk across the stage.

1. Cook a meal with your roommates!

Share a meal with your roommates or your closest friends. This is one of the last times that you guys will all be together every single day. Cook a meal, and sit at the table, talk, laugh, enjoy the meal. Most importantly though, enjoy the company.

2. Stay up late- Heck, Stay up ALL NIGHT LONG!

Don't stay up doing homework. Well get your homework done for sure, but stay up with your friends, stay up with your class. Make so many memories because it's the last chance you have. This is the best year of you life.

3. Go to your class events!

Your class officers have worked hard to pull together events you will enjoy. You may not get along well with your classmates or at least that is what you think! You will be surprised you will still be making friends your senior year! Go to the events!

4. Update your resume, your reference list, and your LinkedIn.

Senior year should be so much fun, but don't forget that you will soon be joining the real world! Update, update, update while you still have time!

5. Go to Sporting Events!

Visit your field, show pride in your school, and support the athletes! Even if you only go for a short time, at least make an appearance. It will give you something to do.

6. Plan a Spring Break trip with your friends!

This is your last spring break unless you become a teacher. Go somewhere you have never been before and make it count!

7. Join a club or a team!

Since freshman year, everyone has been telling you to get involved. It isn't too late to join a team or a club. At least say you did it! AND put it on your resume!

8. Face one of your fears!

Whether its heights or the dark, face your fear and good things will come from it. Now is the time to face your fears!

9. Make a new friend!

It mat be your senior year, but it isn't too late to make a new friend, or two, or three! You would be surprised what you have been missing the last three years!

10. Spend a night with your ENTIRE class!

Spend a night with your class and just your class. You would be surprised what you could learn from each other. Everyone has had a different college experience, share those experiences with each other. Listen and build a family between your class because YOU MADE IT TOGETHER!

11. Make it to graduation!

I know this goes without saying, but do your work, get to graduation, and GET THAT DIPLOMA!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
