Hi everyone! I’m CJ, a graduating senior at 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú from New Jersey! I thought it would be fun to write a list of 8 things to do before I graduate soon!Â
- Swim in a fountain
Now, I haven’t done this one… But it is a very popular 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú tradition! 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú has so many beautiful fountains and many students will (at some point) go for a swim!Â
- Try every Motley Senior Drink
The Motley is our student-run coffee house. At the end of each spring semester, the senior employees make their own drinks! They get pretty creative.
- Present at Capstone DayÂ
Capstone Day, a time when graduating seniors present their work, is this week. I’m looking forward to presenting my neuroscience thesis and getting to see what my friends have been working hard on!
- Sign your name on the Graffiti WallÂ
One of the best 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú traditions is our Graffiti Wall. Graduating students will paint a mural on how they wish to be remembered and everyone signs their name!Â
- Eat your favorite dining hall meal one last timeÂ
The food at the 5Cs is amazing! The 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú dining hall, Malott, is one of my favorites! I’m a big fan of Saturday brunch, when they serve ²¹Ã§²¹Ã! I already miss weekend brunches here. Â
- Attend my last lab bonding event
One of my favorite parts of my 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú experience has been my time researching in my neuroscience lab. We have done some pretty epic bonding activities, like hiking Mt. Baldy, bowling, dance parties, and cooking.Â
- Attend the Fast Forward dance show
Another huge part of my 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú experience has been the 5C dance shows. While we have already had our big 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Dances show, during the last week of classes, the Pomona Dance Department hosts Fast Forward. This is a show that displays student choreography and it’ll be my last piece at 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú!
- Write my final admissions blog (haha)
It has been an honor to work as an Admission Ambassador these past few years.Â
I can’t thank the Admissions team enough for their support throughout my time atÂ
