Senior Year Bucket List

So it’s senior year and tons of emotions are constantly running through our minds. Obviously, we’re more excited than we’ve ever been; we are the oldest and we run shit. But we’re also emo as hell thinking about how many “lasts” were about to experience. This bucket list will make sure you’re making the most of your last year at school, no matter what college you go to. 

1. SENIOR. BAR. CRAWL. We just can’t stress this enough. Plan out a route with your friends and make sure to hit your go-to freshman year bar that you haven’t stepped foot in since 2016. 

2. Friendsgiving. Make a dank menu, invite your besties and have a FEAST. Quality time with your best friends is the most important part of senior year. 

3. Go to a sports event. Football games? Sure. Hockey? Why not. Soccer, basketball, tennis, swim? Whatever will make you feel that infectious school spirit. 

4. Attend the concerts your school puts on. Low-key, some colleges have crazy famous artists for such cheap prices every year. Take advantage. 

5. Speaking of taking advantage… ASK EVERY RESTAURANT/STORE FOR STUDENT DISCOUNTS. This sounds so lame but it’s the last year you’ll be able to use ‘em. 

6. Pop a bottle of champagne on your favorite spot on campus.

7. Say “Yes”. Say yes to going out, say yes to movie nights with your roomies, say yes if you’re asked to fraternity events, say yes to going out on dates. You’re more likely to regret it if you say “no”.

8. Find a place to watch the sunset. Whether it’s on your school parking garage or on the rooftop of your apartment building. It’s the little things, y’all. 

9. Celebrate every damn holiday. And go all out. Halloween, Christmas, St. Patty’s Day, Hanukkah, Labor Day, Easter, Passover, Thanksgiving, Kwanza. I don’t care what it is. Dress up for it and go out for it. 

10. Find fun things to do in town. Farmer’s Markets, cute ice cream parlors, movie theatres, hikes, festivals, amusement parks, beaches. Explore the area where your college is. 

11. Have an epic Spring Break. Think you’re going to be able to plan vacations when you and your friends are living all spread out next year? Think again. This is prime time to have a trip you’ll never forget.

12. Throw a house party. This could be the last year people RSVP “yes” to your pregame before it starts getting a li’l tacky. Be smart about it but also go all out.

13. Binge all the shows you watched freshman year. You might be busy in college, but just wait until you’re working a 9-5 every day of the week. Don’t regret the precious time you have left to lay around and watch Netflix.

14. Go to on-campus events. Maybe these events are for freshmen or people who don’t want to go out, but they’re literally free and you can probably walk there. Don’t try to be too cool, just go.

15. Be grateful for the time you have left. Graduation might be looming over all of us, and maybe you are a little excited to get out into the real world, but it’s time to live in the moment. The amount of freedom and fun we have in college is seriously underrated. Take advantage of everything senior year has to offer while you still can!
