The clock is starting to wind down and, if you’re anything like me, you’re panicking. Graduation is SO CLOSE, and it won’t be long until you’re driving home with a backseat full of clothes and dorm decorations. To make sure that you don’t miss out on your final days of college, try ticking off as many of the following activities off from the graduation check list:
1. Study for finals (duh)
2. Thank your favorite professors for all they’ve done
3. Eat one giant, blow-out meal at the cafeteria
4. Have a night where you go out with friends
5. Have a night where you stay in with friends and just talk
6. Go on a walk around campus and take in all of the scenery
7. Visit your freshman dorm and relive your early college memories
8. Plan a comfortable (yet fabulous) outfit for graduation
9. Prepare a speech for when you graduate and everyone you’ve ever met in your entire life asks you, “So, what’s next?”
10. Take a deep breath (my gut tells me you’ll forget to do this throughout the week)
11. Buy something cheesy from the campus store to celebrate your school spirit
12. Donate the college items you won’t need any more to younger students
13. Start packing and realize that you have way too many clothes (you should probably donate those too…)
14. Thank your cleaning and housing staff for taking care of you all year
15. Make a few ridiculous bee puns to get it out of your system (“I’m going to bee really sad to leave campus, guys!”)
16. Take another deep breath
17. Spend some alone time saying goodbye to your favorite places
18. Think about how hard you’ve worked to get to wear you are today
19. Put on your cap and gown
20. Rock it
