Things to do before Graduation (Doomsday)

This May, I'll be graduating from college. Here is a list of activities that all soon to be college graduates should do before graduation. After all, once we get that diploma - we'll never be able to do these things again.

1. Drink - Drink everyday (and even twice a day if you want). College is the only time in your life that drinking tends to be condone. After all, going hungover to class is perfectly acceptable. However, going hungover to work will only get you fired.


2. Sleep til at least noon - For my last semester of college, I scheduled my classes so that I start my day in the afternoon. It feels great! I love waking up at noon or one o'clock and staying up until 4 am. I know that once I start working a 9-5 job then i'll be waking up at 6 am everyday. So, now's the time to catch up on beauty sleep.

3. Take advantage of student discounts and free stuff - I never knew all about the powers of the student i.d. until last year. I realized I could get bus tickets for only $13 round trip to NYC (rather than the $21 round trip train ticket.) I can get discounted Broadway tickets (hey, why not spend $20 for $100+ seats) I can go to museums for free on certain nights (I think students are free at MOMA on Friday nights this semester.) And don't forget all the free events at your college. I never used to go to the movie nights or stress free nights at Rutgers, but now I'm starting to go because all the free items I can get. And don't forget all about the free food. (yea, i really love food!) Just from going to job career fairs, I have gotten free folders, pens, pencils, stationary, johnson&johnson products, etc. And I went to a career panel that was sponsored by Penguin Books and they gave us free t-shirts and books. What more could I want ?!?. So, I say, go to these events, even if you don't think you'll like them because you never know what you'll get out of it.

4. Bars - This is similar to number 1. Go to bars every night of the week. Enjoy yourself with your friends because after graduation, you don't know how often you'll see each other.

5. Go to your school gym - A real membership to a gym is kind of expensive, so take advantage of your school gym. It might not be state of the art, but it beats paying $500 for a gym membership.

6. Take a class that you've always been interested in - This may be one of the last times in your life to truly venture out and start a new interests. So, if you're a business major, but were always interested in biology - then take a biology class. If you always wanted to try music, then go for a music class. Schools offers so many classes, so definitely take advantage of it. (For me, I have been interested in greek mythology so I finally took a Classics course during the summer. And it was amazing!)


These are just a couple of ideas, if you have more than please comment.
