Your College Senior Year Bucketlist

For the last of the best four years of your life

Your College Senior Year Bucketlist
University of California

Congrats! You've made it to the homestretch. After three years of stress, sweat, and tears your college experience is coming to an end. You laughed, you cried, and lost significant amounts of sleep to make it to this point. Now it's time to make the very best of your last year at school. Let this senior year bucket list show you how:

1. Use your student discount anywhere and everywhere that you can.

This privilege will soon be up. Take complete advantage of every dollar you have off for museums, theaters, clothing stores, restaurants, subscriptions, and more. Broke college students love discounts.

2. Attend at least one of each sporting event your school has to offer.

Whether it be a football game, soccer match, or swim meet, make the effort to be there. Support school teams at games to show off your last year of school spirit!

3. Go to any concerts held on campus.

They may not be your favorite artist, but they're there to provide a good time (not to mention a cheaper one). Appreciate your college's efforts to provide entertainment right on school grounds.

4. Take a class that isn't related to your major.

This one's a must. Venture outside of your major at least once and you won't regret it. Take a class that catches your eye or is a topic you always wanted to learn about. You'll be surprised how much you may enjoy the experience.

5. Try a keg stand (if you haven't already, because that screams 'so college').

Now is the time to get your last keg stand cravings out. You most likely won't have this activity available at grown up office parties.

6. Visit friends at their campuses.

For more fun and memories, visit your friends at their schools!

7. Go somewhere unexpected for spring break.

Stop going to Punta Cana to spend your week off drinking and sunbathing. Go to Rome to see the Colosseum. Hike the Grand Canyon. Go to Africa to help the children in need. Make better use of your vacation and money.

8. Befriend someone that you normally would not.

You might make a life long friend in someone you never expected to get along with.

9. Explore a part of campus you have not already... perhaps the roof...

Use that random rock climbing wall in the gym you always walked past. Take a dip in the pool you thought only the swim team could use. Witness the view of campus from an academic building's roof. It's your last year as a student here. Live it to the fullest.

10. Join LinkedIn.

You're almost a real person, so let the career networking begin. You'll thank yourself later.

And lastly...

11. Savor every moment before it's gone.

Before you know it, senior year will be over. And you will be feeling a mixed variety of emotions. Focus on the most important one:

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
