Deep down we all know that there's more to the student experience than merely eating your weight in Dominos and clearing up at every bar you know.
University comes with a wealth of opportunities and as graduation edges ever closer, here are ten things you should try to do before your student days come to an end.
10 Things To Do Before Graduation
Go to one of the fancy balls(01 of10)
If anything, just do it for the nice pictures. (credit:Alina Solovyova-Vincent via Getty Images)
Join a society and actually commit to it(02 of10)
As a fresher you probably signed up to every single society your university had to offer and then totally copped out once they all got in touch. It's never too late! Look again and there's bound to be something you like. It's nice to be part of something, so pick one and at least try to stick with it. (credit:Ghislain & Marie David de Lossy via Getty Images)
Go all out on your fancy dress costume(03 of10)
Fancy dress is a common occurrence and an absolute nuisance. Every single social or birthday means you have to waste precious cash on making hula skirts and rabbit ears. Of course it's not going to take very long before you get lazy and unimaginative, but just once really put the effort in and blow everyone away. (credit:river seal/Flickr)
Do something selfless(04 of10)
e.g. take part in a volunteer project or do something to raise money for charity. (credit:Ariel Skelley via Getty Images)
Take part in pub golf(05 of10)
There will be endless opportunities for you to do so and you can't beat a social with a bit of competition. (credit:Image Source via Getty Images)
Try a sport(06 of10)
Even if you don't want the regular commitment that comes with joining a team, just do a taster session. You might still be decent at netball even though you haven't played since you were fourteen. Or you may discover that you're crazy good at a more obscure sport...like fencing. Or you might be truly awful, but it's still good to know. (credit:Lori Adamski Peek via Getty Images)
Otherwise, support the other sports folk(07 of10)
Varsity is one of the highlights of the year. It's an incredible atmosphere and if you haven't been to cheer your uni teams on yet, don't even think about leaving without doing so. (credit:Tulane Public Relations/Flickr)
Show some interest in student politics(08 of10)
Even if you won't be around for when the results take effect, it's still your uni and it doesn't hurt to engage a little. (credit:Jupiterimages via Getty Images)
Make the most of your surroundings(09 of10)
For example, if you're originally from a bustling city it may be a long time before you see meadows and rivers and rocks again. Make the most of what's around you while you still can. (credit:timparkinson/Flickr)
Throw a mad house party(10 of10)
Just because you probably won't be able to do this when you move back in with mum and dad. Do it towards the end of the year though. It's a nice way to say goodbye to everyone and it doesn't matter so much if your neighbours despise you when you're leaving in a couple of weeks. (credit:Yuri Arcurs via Getty Images)
