Don't Miss Out on College Experiences - Make a Bucket List!

College is one of those times in your life where time feels like it stretches on for infinity and then it's almost over and you'll realize how quickly those four years went by. You'll probably put off a lot of stuff as a freshman and sophomore, telling yourself that you'll do it later - and I'm not talking about essays.

By the time you get around to thinking about all the things you would like to during your college experience it may be too late to do some of them. There are certain things that are best to do as a freshman or a sophomore or a junior, and you may not be able to cram everything into your final year while you're dealing with job hunting, grad school applications, and that feeling of panic as you realize you don't know what's next.

To make sure you don't miss out on anything, make yourself a bucket list - just for college! You can make one every semester, every year, or just once. You can update at you think of more things you want to do. You can also make a list with your best friend or roommate!

Tip: Don't forget to include some regional things! What is special about your college town? Is there anything that you won't be able to do somewhere else? Also be sure to include some "typical" college experiences (examples: go to a toga party, have a sleepover with your best friends, host an end of the semester party, take a road trip, ask out that hot guy who works in the library. Anything you want!).

Don't Forget: When you finish college you're going to have to find a full time job and start acting like an adult. This is a great opportunity to make friends, get involved in your community, and have fun!

College Lessons Learned the Hard Way

There comes a time in every young person’s life when they make really stupid decisions and think afterwards “how did I not see that coming”. This is called growing up, and it takes forever.

I may not have tried car surfing or gone to class drunk, but I’ve still done many things worthy of a face palm. Here are some lessons I have learned, so you won’t make the same mistakes – not that you would.

How to Procrastinate

The advice you will hear most often in college, and probably in high school too – and maybe even for the rest of your life – is to not procrastinate. It’s good advice, no one can argue against that.

But you are going to procrastinate (unless you are like my roommate – I think she may be an alien because I don’t know how else she could have so much self-control). It is almost inevitable that at some point in your college experience you are going to put something off till the last minute, and you are going to regret it.

Here are some guidelines to help you minimize your regret:

Oh To Be Young And In College!

The ecstasy, the misery, and everything in between. Just when you think you're done growing up, you move off to college and realize that you still have a long way to go.

But fear not! You've come to the right place for advice on navigating your journey from youth to the dreaded abyss beyond. And if I can't offer you the answers to all your burning questions, you can at least laugh at the mistakes I've made.
