College is an amazing time to explore anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to. These four years will pass you by so quickly, so it’s important to make the most of them and never take one second for granted. This being said, making a bucket list is a great way to organize your goals and get creative with them.

 

1.     Meet A New Friend Every Semester

College is the best time to meet new people, and a lot of times, the people you become friends with in college are your friends for life.

2.     Join a Club

There are so many different clubs at school and with that, many more things to explore. So join as many as you want! (As long as they fit into your schedule!)

3.     Take a Class On a Subject You’ve Never Explored Before

Latin, Yoga, Japanese, Sculpture, Physics- whichever class it is, it’s super important to challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone as much as possible.

4.     Travel

Whether it’s somewhere local that you’ve never been to before, or a different country, seeing new places is so important for personal growth.

5.     Learn a New Language

When I first came to college, I re-learned Spanish and tried to perfect it as much as I could. Knowing other languages can open up so many opportunities!

6.     Start an Organization

Do you feel passionate about something and want to meet people who have similar interests to you? If there isn’t already a club for it, it could be very beneficial to start your own! It also looks really good on resumes.  

7.     Pull Some All-Nighters

Sometimes, you get stuck writing papers until five in the morning. Sometimes you are having such a good time talking with your friend in their room, that you stay up till morning together. Whatever the case is, although you’ll be tired the next day, it was worth it.

8.     Make Memories

Go to that free concert of that band you don’t know, or go to that movie with your friends. Take a chance, you might find something you really enjoy doing that you never would’ve expected. Go out, take pictures, and make memories you’ll never forget.

9.     Get Involved

Being involved not only helps you meet people, it also looks great for future job opportunities, and enriches your overall college experience.

10. Enjoy Every Moment

These days are precious, and they don’t last forever. Embrace them, make the most of them, and enjoy them.
