It is finally spring semester, which means a fresh start. It means a blank canvas is sitting right in front of your face ready for you to literally throw whatever you want at it. Fall semester might have been a drag, or it could have been one of the best semesters of your life, but everyone has the potential to make this spring semester everything you want it to be. Here are a few spring semester ideas to add to your college bucket list.
1. Get the highest GPA you’ve ever had!
Study hard, love to learn, and have your future in mind. Nothing would make you feel more accomplished.
2. Pick up a new hobby.
Join a club, learn a new sport, go to the rec everyday; find something that will keep you happy and enjoy it.
3. Go on a kick-butt spring break trip with your friends.
Start saving that moo-lah now and get out your planner. Going on a trip with your best buds is exactly what you’ll need come spring break. Make memories that will last a lifetime.
4. Get an internship
Get some experience of the “real world” and build up that resume. Who said work can’t be fun too?
5. Make new friends
Yes, your current squad is fab, but the more the merrier. You can never have too many.
6. Explore Morgantown
Go to a restaurant you’ve never been to before, explore nearby parks, go to Blue Hole if you’ve never been, and even if you have go again and again. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful place to serve as our home away from home.
7. Have the best St. Patrick’s Day ever
Yes, every year is the host to the best St. Patrick’s Day ever, but that means this year will top the last. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy those memories.
8. Spend time outside
Spring semester means that it will eventually start to get warmer (YAY). Go on a walk, sit on a bench and do your homework, lay in the grass, and just enjoy spring time.
9. Go to as many sporting events as possible
Cheer on Press Virginia, check out the new baseball stadium, and always be proud to be a Mountaineer!
10. Focus on your career goals
We can’t stay at WVU forever (sad face), but we can make it reflect on our future. Think about what you can do to make your career successful, network with future employers, and ask your professors for advice.
11. Find something to be thankful for every day
We are blessed to have such an amazing school, great friends, a beautiful state, a supportive family, and so much more. Remember that every single day and smile.
Whatever your bucket list may consist of, this semester has the potential to be whatever you make it. Live in the moment, but always look to the future and shape it to perfection. Happy spring semester, Mountaineers!
