Well, ladies and gents, it’s that time of the year— there are less than thirty days until graduation. Cue the tears.
As you inch closer and closer to getting that diploma that’s been four years in the making, you can’t help but think of all the things you got to do— the formals you attended, the late-night Halal cart trips and seeing the line dance for the first time at THON. It’s safe to say we’ve been busy these past four years. But, what about all of the things you never got to try?
With four weeks left in the semester and the rest of your college career, now is the time more than ever to do all of those things that make you say “I need to go there or try that before I graduate.” So, without further ado, here’s the ultimate senior bucket list. Unlike your assignments, this is just one of those things you can’t procrastinate.
Sporting Events
With a school as big as Penn State that has such an affinity for football season, it’s easy to fall into the post-football season depression that consumes the spring semester. But while the Blue and White scrimmage is here to quench that need, one game simply isn’t enough. The inner fan in us needs more. And you can find so many more sports to get excited about, especially considering the surplus of nice weather we’ve had in State College. So put on your ball caps and head to the bleachers, there’s everything from baseball and softball to lacrosse and tennis. So for all those times you never had a reason to watch these games and learn a new sport, now’s your chance.
The Arboretum
As much as it is bitter-sweet to sit next to childhood’s gates, there’s nothing like the calm oasis that the Arboretum provides. Not only is it right across from East Halls, another reminder of the good old days, but with countless new additions coming to the property there are endless opportunities for some much-deserved R&R. Whether you come alone with a good book or a good group of friends, there’s nothing like escaping from the reality of State College and the fact that you’ll soon be leaving. Bring a picnic blanket, some snacks and a speaker, we’ll let these vibes speak for themselves.
Restaurants
If you’ve ever walked past a restaurant and thought to yourself “I need to try that before I graduate,” well, the day has finally come for you to keep that promise to yourself. As much as we all have those tried and true places we frequent on a weekly basis and always get the same thing (we’re on to you Bagel Crust), we all still need a little adventure in our lives and food is no exception. Whether it’s the newly opened Raising Cane’s and Mezeh or sit-downs like Gigi’s Southern Kitchen and Central Reservation, it’s hard to imagine that you’ve been to every single restaurant in State College. But if you have, we applaud you.
But, while there are so many things for us to do in such a short amount of time, there are also those other things that aren’t as obvious. So, make a move on your freshman-year crush, spend as much time with your friends as you can, go to that themed party and go all out, host a party if you’ve never hosted one before and make these last four weeks the best part of your college years.
While we’ve mentioned a lot of things and let us be honest— reading is hard— here’s everything you need to do before the beginning of May right in front of you. Good luck and start checking things off that bucket list.
- Host a themed party
- Picnic at The Arboretum
- Find a new study spot
- Go to karaoke at The Gaff
- Play beach volleyball in East Halls
- Go to one of the many local breweries
- Eat at the dining hall with the underclassmen
- Go to a VALLEY launch party 🙂
- Walk into a new store you’ve always walked past but never gone into
- Hot girl walk around campus
- Try a new restaurant
- Ride a Spin bike
- Become a baseball or lacrosse groupie
- Try a workout class
- Go to country night at Pickles
- Hike Mount Nittany
As Ferris said, life moves pretty fast. So skip the class, take the pressure off yourself and start living, because while it may be the end, it’s very much just the beginning of a really good thing.

One thing I’d prefer to say is that car insurance cancelling is a dreaded experience and if you are doing the correct things like a driver you simply will not get one. A lot of people do are sent the notice that they have been officially dumped by their own insurance company they have to scramble to get additional insurance after the cancellation. Low cost auto insurance rates usually are hard to get after the cancellation. Knowing the main reasons concerning the auto insurance cancellations can help car owners prevent getting rid of in one of the most crucial privileges out there. Thanks for the ideas shared through your blog.
Thanks for sharing your ideas. One thing is that students have a selection between government student loan and also a private student loan where it is easier to go with student loan consolidation than through the federal education loan.

Thanks for giving your ideas on this blog. Additionally, a fantasy regarding the finance institutions intentions any time talking about foreclosures is that the traditional bank will not have my repayments. There is a fair bit of time that this bank will need payments in some places. If you are too deep in the hole, they will commonly demand that you pay the particular payment entirely. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of payments at all. When you and the financial institution can find a way to work something out, the foreclosure course of action may end. However, in the event you continue to pass up payments under the new system, the foreclosed process can just pick up where it left off.

One more important part is that if you are an elderly person, travel insurance for pensioners is something you need to really contemplate. The more mature you are, greater at risk you will be for making something bad happen to you while overseas. If you are never covered by a number of comprehensive insurance cover, you could have a few serious issues. Thanks for discussing your guidelines on this blog.
