Naturally, the only way to do this is to go to Thorpe Park. And when you do go, it's all about Stealth (pictured). The 0-80mph ride is just insanely incredible. You won't want to get off. Also The Swarm is darn good too, but you have to try it both forwards and backwards. And don't forget Logger's Leap. You can't beat Logger's Leap, even though it's pretty old. If you can afford Fastrack, buy these tickets immediately, they're well worth it. Oh, and they do Summer Nights events too which means you can go on sunset rollercoasters, dance to DJs and sip cocktails. Told you it was good. (credit:Thorpe Park)

..like sipping on delicious cocktails and soaking up the view of London in Paramount's viewing gallery.We'd recommend the Grey Goose Le Fizz Royal. After all, you are celebrating your introduction into adulthood, followed by the 1934 Cosmopolitan or The Shogun (both pictured) to fully cement your newly-gained swanky adult status.And, if you get peckish, sink your teeth into one of their mouth-wateringly good burgers. They're worth every pennyAfter all, you're not a student anymore. (credit:The Huffington Post UK)

It's the only feasible time you can still claim poverty by being a student. This, coupled with celebrating your graduation, should be a guaranteed ticket to a free meal.Head to MASH in Soho - their steak is last supper kinda food; a superb quality, unforgettable, no-expenses spared experience. Start with the tartare, infused with delicate spices which explode on your tastebuds, and follow up with the famous Wagyu steak; cuts like butter, oozes with sensational, mind-blowing flavours, and perfectly pair with the creamed spinach side. Or try the Danish long bone, it's simple, chunky and no fuss, and it sure does pack a punch.You can thank the 'rents later. (credit:MASH)

Graduation, summer, saying goodbye to friends - all these factors just scream road trip, right?Hire a car (or preferably go with someone who owns one), and hit the highway. Cornwall, Pembrokeshire, Isle of Wight - the world (ahem, Britain) is your oyster. (credit:Daniel Milchev via Getty Images)

..And while you're at it, find out where you want to live in London - because obviously you need to base your choice on which postcode offers up the best grub. Head to Lanes of London on Park Lane and sample the best foods the capital has to offer, from Brick Lane curry to Edgware Road kafta. Their taster dishes are perfect for sharing, so order a few and let the good times roll.Do not miss the glorious beef brisket sliders (pictured); the melt in the mouth meat means that three is just not enough. And you have to try the bone marrow, we promise you won't regret it. The bun thit nuong pork skewers are another not-to-be-missed treat, imbibed with mouth-wateringly delicious spices and paired with a droolingly-good noodle salad.And if you've still got room? Tuck into the poor knights of Windsor dessert. (credit:Lanes of London)
