While we have mainly been focusing towards the future, today I’m going to focus on opportunities that are right at our finger tips as college students! It is completely natural for students to get the senior year jitters and be constantly focused on how they are going to cope with their entrance into the real world. However, before we make that final exit we need to take advantage of certain college-specific opportunities that will be extremely rare once we get that diploma.
1. Newspapers! Most institutions across the United States offer free copies of top newspapers to its students. Pick them up! Never again will you be able to grab a copy of The New York Times or USA Today without reaching into your pocket for a couple bucks.
2. Special Guests! I never understood how out of an undergraduate population of 20,000 students, only 15 will show up to an Emmy award-winning guest lecturer on campus! Schools invest a lot of time and money to bring really interesting people to you, so show up and take the time to meet them! You can never hear enough advice and they might turn out to be a great contact to have in the future!
3. Interesting Courses! Colleges offer so many more courses than those needed to satisfy your graduation requirements. Interested in an off-the-wall subject? Sign up for a course in it. Never again will you be able to construct clay pots or learn how to ice skate for free.
