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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
