The Ultimate Senior Year Bucket List

We're not done just yet...

The Ultimate Senior Year Bucket List
Courtney Justice

As we get down to the last few days of my final semester, there are many emotions I have flying around. Mostly I'm feeling somewhere between apathetic and panicked, so I've decided to create a list. Not a list of "How do I get a job" or "Realistic ways to start paying off school loans," but something less practical and more fun - a Senior Year Bucket List.

Simple as that, I'd like to share my list of things I want to accomplish in Grove City, PA before I pack up and head off to the "real world" with you. Hopefully this can inspire you to make the most of your final days as a student as well.

1. Skip a full day of class to do nothing but watch movies (you won't be able to skip work just for funsies, so do it while you still can).

2. Go on a spontaneous road trip somewhere close by and possibly skip class to do so.

3. Eat nothing but pizza for four days straight (because what other time will this be acceptable outside of college?).

4. Wear your PJs to class for a whole week (again, your boss probably won't let you show up at work in PJs, so why not now?).

5. Get super dressed up with all your friends and go to McDonald's for the classiest fast food meal you've ever had.

6. Write a note to your favorite professors telling them how much you appreciate them.

7. Search for restaurants, stores, movies, etc. that have student discounts and use ALL OF THEM (because soon your ID won't matter).

8. Go into every building on campus and leave a small note somewhere for someone to find.

9. Go out every night for a full week (even if it's just for pie at 3 a.m., no judgment).

10. Do something really nice for a complete stranger.

My freshman year was rough, and one day I was sitting outside by myself just kind of loathing, stressing and being a freshman, when suddenly some guy came up to me with a Reese's. He said, "Hey, I know you don't know me, but I saw you earlier and you looked upset, so I went and got you this Reese's. If you need anything, just know I'm praying for you and whatever's going on, it's going to be okay." That was an experience I will truly cherish because it was so great to experience random kindness.

Anyways, good luck crossing each of these off your lists in the next few weeks. Best of luck as the end of the semester approaches!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
