9 Things To Do Before You Leave High School
Amya Gulati

While high school definitely isn't everyone's best four years, there are a few things you need to do before your senior year becomes a part of the past.

Take a day trip with your friends

Senior year gives most of us a little leniency to go out with our friends more often, and it's important to take advantage of that.

Go to the school games

Even if your school sucks at sports, attend a game or two and give in to the school spirit.

Talk to your teachers

Teachers, the good and the bad ones, have a large part in shaping your high school experience. Teachers are more open to their seniors as the school year progresses, and you'll probably have the opportunity to get to communicate with them on a deeper level. It's always interesting to get to know your teacher as a person.

Talk to the people you never really interacted with before, too

Instead of sticking with your same old friend group for the rest of the year, branch out and talk to people you never had the change to interact with before. You never know who you might make a friend out of.

Go through your old high school yearbooks/mementos 

Going through my old yearbooks and pictures throughout the years always made me a little nostalgic. You get to see yourself grow and are able to look back at all the memories you made from the time you were a freshman to now.

Skip class

You've got to do this at least once before you graduate. The penalty shouldn't be too severe, either (that is, if you get caught).

Attend every senior event

Most high schools do their best to make senior year a memorable time for the students, so skipping a senior event that essentially takes you out of class is pointless.

Don't you dare skip prom

It's the last time you'll see everyone from your grade in the same room together and actually be able to talk to most of them (graduation is too hectic).

Go to school the day before graduation 

Your last full day of school is something you're going to want to be there for. It's the last time you will attend class, see familiar faces in the hall, eat gross cafeteria food, and race to the parking lot in order to beat traffic.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
