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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
