5 Things To Do Before You Graduate
Are you experiencing FOMO on things you haven’t done during your college years? Well let us tell you one thing, you are not alone. College is a very busy period of our lives where it’s sometimes hard to keep up with everything that is going on around us. Have you ever said “Let’s do something fun before we graduate” or “We’ve never done this” but need the extra push? Well, here it is! Here are a few things YOU should do before you graduate!
Plan An Outing Every Weekend
First of all, this doesn’t have to cost money. It could be taking a hike you’ve wanted to try out, exploring the area, spending extra time with your friends, etc. Have you taken a trip to Sonoma Square, Calistoga, San Francisco, or anywhere in between? Well, if you haven’t we highly suggest experiencing this area to the fullest before you graduate! Between school and work college students normally don’t do the things they want because responsibilities get in the way. Our piece of advice is if you want to do the things YOU want to do, then you’ll just have to make time for it!
2. Make A List Of Every Local Food Spot You Want To Hit
Depending on if you are leaving this area, these might be some of your final times going to your favorite food spots! So make a list for yourself, with friends, or with roommates, and check them off as the semester comes to an end. You can even check out new ones that you’ve always wanted to try! Let Google be your best friend and look up food spots that sound good to you!
3. A Night In
Whether you enjoy spending time with your roommates, friends, or yourself, it’s important to get those last few “Night In’s” in because life is about to get crazy and busy. Enjoy those last few movie nights, outings to get frozen yogurt, or craft nights that you may have the time for now. Make memories with those around you because this is a point in time that you won’t ever get back again. Cook or bake and simply make memories with a night in.
4. Hit Up The Barlow
One of the most popular spots in the area is the Barlow and if you haven’t experienced it yet…do so! The Barlow a 12-acre Bay Area outdoor market district in Sebastopol. It features local food, wine, beer, spirits (if you’re 21) and crafts made onsite by Sonoma County artisans. It’s a spot where there’s an endless amount of fun and photo opportunities too! It’s a lovely area, don’t miss it!
5. Local Markets
