Fifteen Fun Things to Do Before Graduating

Before you pack up and take a long, last look at Mount Holyoke this weekend, take time to think about the past four years and to enjoy your last days on campus. Here are a few suggestions.

  1. Take a slow walk through the greenhouses on a sunny day and keep inhaling.
  2. Stand in the middle of the Green at night and look up at the stars.
  3. Count squirrels.
  4. Watch the ducks and turtles on the log on Lower Lake.
  5. One afternoon, play your music really loudly and invite all your friends to come and dance.
  6. On a bright morning, spend a minute sitting in Abbey Chapel in the cool quiet, reminiscing about convocations and vespers performances.
  7. Have your own Mountain Day with friends. Everyone should climb Mount Holyoke once in four years.
  8. Watch cartoons in the TV room while eating breakfast; it may be the last time before entering the workforce for you do so this leisurely.
  9. Buy $10 worth of candy in the bookstore just so you can charge it.
  10. Thank someone who's made a difference in your life at the College.
  11. Visit Archives to bask in the College's past; you're nearly part of that past!
  12. See the Equestrian Center.
  13. Sit at a table outside of Blanchard and enjoy the view.
  14. Take last-minute photos of all your friends and favorite campus spots.
  15. "Streak" the Green.
