Graduation is only a few weeks away, and as a senior in my last semester, I’ve enjoyed my entire college experience. Everything from the friends I’ve made to the activities I’ve done, to the knowledge I’ve gained, to the wise and supportive professors and advisors I’ve had over the years. While I have no regrets about the things I’ve done, what I do wish I had was more time; something I’m sure many others with the final approach to graduation are facing, as well.
So here’s a list of 20 things the Class of 2016 and myself wish we had more time to do before graduation:
