Graduation is a time that fills our souls with so many different emotions: happiness, sadness, joy, remorse, excitement, anxiety, and most of all ACCOMPLISHMENT! Here are some of the things you have to do at Marshall University before you come an alumnus.

1. Study On The Third Floor Of The Atrium

This is one of my favorite views of campus, and if you haven't yet, you need to make the trip to the Drinko Library to hangout in this gorgeous space.

2. Take A Selfie With The John Marshall Statue

Whether its the statue by the Drinko Library or the bust in front of Old Main, you have to remember these wonderful pieces of art!

3. Take A Photo Of Old Main During The Winter

As the seasons change one thing stays the same, the beauty of Old Main as you stroll by. Winter is my favorite season to see in full effect around the stunning architecture, you should check it out before you graduate...

4. Attend A Memorial Service At The Memorial Fountain

Marshalls' website does a great job conveying what this event is all about:

The Student Government Association holds a memorial service each year on the anniversary of the Nov. 14, 1970, plane crash that took the lives of 75 people, including the Marshall University football team, coaches, staff, community members and crew. The ceremony is held in front of the Memorial Fountain on the Memorial Student Center plaza. As is traditional, the water in the fountain is stopped during the service, to remain silent until spring.

5. Take A Photo With Marco The Bison

Good 'ole Marco is always happy to take a photo, so be sure to grab one with you and your best pals before it's time to get your diploma!

6. Listen To The John Marshall Fife and Drum Corps

They're actually really entertaining and it's also cool to hear music from the John Marshall Era.

7. Participate In Endless "WE ARE... Marshall!" Chants

Marshall Universities website says it best:

“We Are…Marshall” has been around since football games in the 1980s at the university’s old Fairfield Stadium, where the stadium scoreboard would light up with alternating arrows to indicate which side of the crowd should lead the cheer. Since then, “We Are…Marshall” has become the rallying cry for a resilient school and community

8. Visit The Morrow Library Stacks

You have to do this before you graduate!!! Not only is it beautiful and mesmerizing but the amount of literature that continues for levels upon levels is breathtaking.

Consider this your Marshall University bucket list! Now go take advantage of the time you have left and enjoy every second of it.

On a level of 1-10 with 1 being chill and 10 being stressed the flip out, you could say I'm a 9. Worrying about the future, grades, GPA, work, assignments, and a lack of sleep and food will do it to ya.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"
