[L107]Last Year Of College
by Chris Stout, Chr
1. Fulfill all college credit requirements
Meet with an academic advisor. Make sure there are no anomalies on your transcript. Address any credit concerns. Did a general education requirement slip through the cracks? Have you taken all of the necessary upper division courses to complete your major? Did you forget any lower division requirements? Figure out if you need to adjust your remaining class schedule, and do so as soon as possible.

2. Start a serious job hunt
You need an exit strategy if you are going to be able to overcome the post-college blues. After you graduate, you are going to be in new territory. You will have to leave the comfort of campus and classrooms and enter the working world. When you graduate, you need to have a career plan (even a temporary one). Look for jobs while you're still in school. Apply everywhere and go on tons of interviews. If you're going to relocate, you still need to figure out how your going to earn a living once college has run its course.

3. Assess your future living situation
Are you going to stick around after college? Do you enjoy the place you live so much, that you couldn't possibly imagine moving away, or have you been counting down the days until you can go back home. Whatever your situation is, you need to look ahead. If you plan on moving, make arrangements early. If you plan on sticking around, make sure all there's no surprises when it comes to finding accommodations.

4. Fill out applications for graduate school
If you intended to immediately continue your education after college, then you need to be on the ball about getting your grad school applications in on time. Make sure you meet any admission requirements before applying. Don't forget about financial aid and scholarship opportunities.

5. Enjoy your limited time in college
Your window for experiencing college is closing. Make the most of what little time you have left. Get all of your stuff done, but don't forget to relish the experience. Have fun. Go out with your friends. Try new things. You can still be serious about your final year, while also taking the chance to truly savor your accomplishments.

If you've worked hard, and if you've budgeted your time accordingly, then you'll have nothing to worry about your final year of college. Just remember to look ahead. Have an exit strategy. Get all your requirements completed on time. Start looking for work and new housing. Apply to grad school if that's the plan, but either way, enjoy what you have left. College is a once in a lifetime experience. Squeeze all the good times out while you still can.
