No matter what level of schooling you're in, the final few months will be the most toughest, and the most difficult couple of months to part away from. One thing that's obvious is us getting all teary, but hey! Let's do a little more than that! Read through this list and try to tick them off to make your final semester all fun and memorable.
It may be so that you've managed to get by just with talking to your little-large group. But come on, you never know how many really nice people you've not spoken to by restricting yourself to your group. So go on and talk to more people before you regret it later on!
Pictures are proof of everlasting memories that would possibly never repeat again. So even if you were shy all these years, be bold and go pose for some pictures. You'll have these pictures to look at and smile nostalgically many years later.
You'd be busy with credit-gaining and mandatory classes, and so many extra activities as it is, yes, but if you can, try your hand at something that is not run-of-the-mill! It can be a very rewarding experience!
Other than heading together to the same class or the same lunch table, plan trips and go see new things. Who knows as to whether you'll all be able to meet each other once graduated? So make the most of it now!
You never know how fast time flies until it actually gets past you. And during that time, there will be thousands of memories close to your heart. Write them all down, write them in paper, type them onto a digital note. Trust me, what you put into words will be gold.
Its time to raise the white flag, its time to call some truce! Enemies are sometimes caused by even small trifles, not always the large ones. Try talking to them and see if you can become friends again! If not, well..don't try TOO hard, leave it at that.
Buy a college jersey, take pictures, give gifts, talk to new people, build something together...make something that will remind you forever of your memories, of your friends, of your last semester!
Who said its all about winning? Oh no. No, sir! Its about learning how to compete, how to communicate, how to learn from what you experienced--contests are life-changing lessons! Its time you took part in some now that its your final semester!
Alright, fun time is over! If you want to graduate well and get on with your life, write those pending papers or assignments and get your credits! Make sure that your road toward graduation is smooth! Don't keep this pending until the last minute.
Once you graduate, you'll be quite literally thrown into the open world where "Survival of the fittest" echoes louder than it did in college! So be prepared and brace yourself for all the onslaughts of life you're going to be facing!
