Graduation is approaching fast and the last thing you want is to finish your senior year and realize you didn’t do half of what you wanted. Going to college isn’t just about studying 24/7, it’s about making memories. Whatever year you are in school, it’s not too late to experience everything OSU has to offer. I’ve compiled a list of 75 things you MUST do before you walk the stage for graduation (in no particular order) #GoBeavs
