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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
