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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
